Hi,
I have just read an article about the Jacobite succession, and how James VII was deposed, his son was claimed in Jacobitism as James II & VIII, who in turn had two sons Charles III (Bonnie Prince Charlie) & Henry IX.
My question is why is Henry numbered only IX when he would have been the first Henry of Scots. In Jacobite succession should he not have been named Henry the I&IX, it's just something i've been wondering - hopefully some1 will be able to help me out.

Scottishstuart,
Just like today's Monarch. She is titled Elizabeth 11 when there has never been an Elizabeth of Scotland, just an Elizabeth of England. Another case of distorted history.
