James Francis Edward was raised in Continental Europe. After his father's death in 1701, he claimed the English, Scottish and Irish crown as James III of England and Ireland and James VIII of Scotland, with the support of his Jacobite followers and his cousin Louis XIV of France. Fourteen years later, he unsuccessfully attempted to gain the throne in Britain during the Jacobite rising of 1715.
Following his death in 1766, his elder son, Charles Edward Stuart, continued to claim the British crown as part of the Jacobite Succession.
- "Later he developed into a handsome lad, with noble brow, finely
chiseled nose, expressive dark brown eyes hair of auburn tint inclining
to gold." https://www.jacobites.net/prince-charles-edward-stuart.html
