Since Henry's death, none of the Jacobite heirs have claimed the English or Scottish thrones. [[Franz, Duke of Bavaria]] (born 1933), a direct descendant of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], is the current legitimate heir of the house of Stuart. It has been suggested that a repeal of the [[Act of Settlement 1701]] could allow him to claim the throne, although he has expressed no interest in doing so.{{sfn|Alleyne|de Quetteville|2008}}
