This partially reflects the exile of King Charles II on the Continent (in
France, Germany, the Spanish Netherlands, and the Dutch Republic) from 1651 to 1660, but more
particularly the exile of the Catholic King James II from 16881701. James II was dead by the time
Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels, but his heir James Francis Edward Stuart, also Catholic, maintained his
pretensions to the British throne from a court in France (primarily at SaintGermainenLaye) until 1717,
and both Jameses were regarded as a serious threat to the stability of the British monarchy until the
end of the reign of George II. The court of the Pretender attracted those Jacobites, and their Tory
sympathizers, whose political activity precluded them staying safely in Great Britain; notable among
them was Swift's friend, the Anglican Bishop of Rochester Francis Atterbury, who was exiled to France
in 1722.
