Jacobite History est. 2010
The members of Jacobite History est. 2010 form a German-based re-enactment group with performers from Germany, Ireland, France and Scotland. It is very important to us to present an
authentic portrayal of the Gaelic culture from 18th century Scotland.
Our focus is on the unique culture of the Scottish Gaels, whose life,
after the Battle of Culloden, was subject to a dramatic change imposed by the Royal House of Hanover. The culture of the Scottish Highland clans has always been passed on by
oral tradition and is reflected in stories and songs. To keep alive all these beautiful things is our aim.
Although our group is named Jacobite History est. 2010, we do not portray Jacobites as such, we simply portray the way of life in Scotland, Ireland and
England during the Jacobite era.
Royal Écossois
Highland soldiers in French service
In our military portrayal we re-enact the grenadiers of the regiment Royal Écossois, also known as "La compagnie des grenadiers du
régiment Royal Écossois". The time frame covers the years from 1744--1762.
A Lochaber Clan
Highland Gentry, Lowland Scots and Irish Jacobites
In our civilian portrayal we re-enact Highland gentry, simply described as low nobility connected by blood to a clan chief, Scots from the Lowlands and Jacobites
from Ireland and England. The time frame covers the years from 1725--1762.
