Editing James Francis Edward Stuart (section)

===Later years===
After the 1745 rising, there were no other plots to restore the Stuart dynasty except for when, in 1759, the French government briefly considered a scheme to have James (then aged 70) crowned King of Ireland as part of [[Planned French invasion of Britain (1759)|their plans to invade Britain]], but the offer was never formally made to James. Several separate plans also involved Charles being given control of a French-backed independent Ireland, though that too was aborted after Charles showed up at a meeting with the French to discuss the plan late, argumentative, and idealistic in expectations, so that the French dismissed the possibility of Jacobite assistance.<ref>McLynn (1759) p. 81</ref>{{full citation needed|date=May 2021}}
