On November 5, 1688, a Dutch nobleman, William of Orange, landed on the coast of England and marched his sizeable army toward London, ousting the reigning British monarch, James II/VII, and becoming joint monarch of Britain. For a significant percentage of the population of the British Isles, however, who became known as the Jacobites, William and his successors were usurpers. Over the course of the next half century, Jacobites plotted to restore James and his family to the British throne, most famously in 1745 under the leadership of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The story of the Jacobites has become the stuff of legend, inspiring writers like Diana Gabaldon to create her Outlander series. But who really were the Jacobites? What did they want? Join Dr. Leith Davis (Director of the Centre for Scottish Studies at Simon Fraser University) for an in-depth look at this remarkable chapter in the history of Scotland, drawn from the letters and accounts of the Jacobites themselves. Accompanying Leith and providing a musical perspective on the story of the Jacobites are members of the Sybaritic String Band: Sheila Allen (fiddle); Scott Alpen (bodhran); and Rob McGregor (mandolin). Together, they will take you back to the hills and glens of Scotland, weaving together words and music to remember the men and women who believed in that lost cause. **This talk will be conducted in English. 1688 年 11 月 5 日，荷蘭貴族奧蘭治親王威廉（William of Orange）率領大軍登陸英格蘭，揮軍倫敦，推翻當時的英格蘭與蘇格蘭國王詹姆士二世／七世（James II/VII），並與妻子共同加冕為英國君主。然而，對於不列顛群島上部分人民而言，威廉及其繼承者並非合法統治者，而是篡位者。這群支持詹姆士二世及其家族重返王位的人，被稱為「詹姆士黨（Jacobites）」。此後半個世紀，他們持續策劃復辟行動，其中最著名的便是 1745 年，由「美男子查理王子」（Bonnie Prince Charlie）領導的起義。 詹姆士黨的故事早已成為蘇格蘭歷史與文化中的傳奇，也啟發了作家 Diana Gabaldon 創作知名小說《Outlander》系列。然而，詹姆士黨究竟是誰？他們真正追求的是什麼？ 歡迎與西門菲莎大學（Simon Fraser University）蘇格蘭研究中心主任 Leith Davis 博士，一同透過詹姆士黨親筆書信與歷史紀錄，深入探索這段充滿理想、忠誠與衝突的蘇格蘭歷史。 演講同時邀請 Sybaritic String Band 成員 Sheila Allen（小提琴）、Scott Alpen（寶德蘭鼓 Bodhrán）及 Rob McGregor（曼陀林）共同演出，從音樂的角度詮釋詹姆士黨的故事。透過歷史與旋律交織，帶領觀眾走進蘇格蘭的高地與山谷，追憶那些曾為心中信
