What title did James claim as his own in 1701?

  • James III & VIII

  • James IV & IX

  • Charles I & II

  • Edward VI & VII

Answer

The answer is James III & VIII, which were the titles James Francis Edward Stuart, the son of deposed English king James II, claimed to the thrones of England and Scotland, respectively. These claims stemmed from his belief in the divine right of kings, which held that monarchs derived their authority directly from God and could not be rightfully deposed.
