James Ii Glorious Revolution Simulator: Bad Ending - Tumblr Posts

So I tried to get some ideas together for a James Francis Edward AU where he doesn't actually know he is a royal prince and I haven't shown it to anyone so here it is:

• Baby James (or Jamie as his nickname) is born to his parents in the summer with discontent immediately growing throughout England at the thought of another Popish monarch, of course.

• It leads to the final cue getting sent to William to invade England. James leaves London and prepares the army to fight but gets struck down by his nosebleed while preparing for battle, causing him to command a withdrawal back to protect the city, faces the withdrawal of chief soldiers and also his daughter Anne who goes to William and Mary instead, causing a full nervous breakdown so basically just like the actual events really. He ends up sending Maria a request to flee to France with their newborn son.

• During the Dutch Invasion, however, Maria and little Jamie are recognised and seized while trying to escape England and are put under house arrest in Whitehall Palace. James is also put under arrest before he gets a chance to escape and is basically now stuck at St James's Palace.

• James is put on trial and found guilty of treason. This leads to him getting beheaded, like his father, Charles I. Maria is distraught and is banished from England with Jamie.

• After this happens, Maria and Jamie are sent away to Italy where Maria ends up as a nun. She however ends up dying young and leaving little Jamie on his own. Little Jamie is now left in the care of nuns, unaware of his birthright or his family.

What happens next has yet to be seen.
