Abstract:
Great Britain has always been known for its rich and eventful history, and one of these historical events is without any doubt the Jacobean movement that sparked civil war all over the island. Such rebellious movement is widely known to have revolted with the aim of bringing back the rightful Scottish rulers to the throne of England. Despite its direct link to Scotland, the Jacobite movement witnessed support from other regions and more precisely from Wales. The latter role in the jacobean movement and the parliament's reaction to it has been overlooked. In light of this, The present study will examine the role and part of Wales in the region during the Jacobean Revolution and how
effective the Welsh were to restore the throne for the Stuarts. The researcher will be able to highlight several different primary sources to place this work together which can include, the testimony of several witnesses, and some historians memoirs that will be analyzed. The dissertation reveals that Wales had indeed supported the Jacobites cause and the Stuarts but had no actual active involvement in this matter. What triggered me to investigate the role of Wales in the Jacobites rebellion is the lack of research on Welsh history. a larger sample is needed for future research.
