Accounts of the lives and contributions to the Jacobite cause of several different Britons as well  as documentation on their trials, sentencings and executions. Each of these figures supported the  cause in different ways including direct involvement in battles, spreading support and  propaganda, and providing munitions and supplies to Jacobites throughout the British Isles.  These four Jacobites were executed for high treason and all on public display, potentially as  dramatic exhibitions and extensive scare-tactics to deter Jacobite support. The execution of  Jacobites represent the culmination of Hanovarian and Whig pushback against the cause.  

Each publication is a source for 17th and 18th century politics, religion, court proceedings, and  executions. All contributing their own perspectives and accounts of the Jacobite uprisings, the  British crown and government’s responses and opinions of people in the general public.
