      After "Bonnie Prince Charlie" Died without leaving a legitimate heir the Stuart crown was passed to his younger brother who was a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic church. As he had his eyes on the Papacy and didn`t want it he renounced the throne, recognized the Hanoverian dynasty, and passed some of the regalia back to Britain. The title did pass on to later European nobility but was meaningless after that.

    Götter... Lately, I've been thinking we were better off living under various chieftains instead of kings and emperors who try to gather ALL the people under their rule. The chieftain remembered to care for the well-being of his people or face their wrath. And there was a strong sense of community, of tribe and clan, that is now fading even in small towns.

      @@tomtomsen4935 Meine Kindheit war interessant. In Alaska es ist nie langweilig. Ich bin in eine kleines sommerdorf aufgewachsen. Ein region mit dichten birkenwäldern, grossen gewässern, und viele unbefestigen strassen.
      Es ist voller Nutten, Kiffer, Einzelgänger und Showboater, aber sie sind alle sehr gutherzig. Die stoppschilder sind mit einschusslöchern übersät. Gerüchten zufolge gab es letztes Jahr sechzehn Meth-Labore. Einer in nähe meines haus explodiert. Jetz? Es ist neun.
      Und der Hund meines Nachbarn, Jake, halber Deutscher Schäferhund, halber Wolf, hat getötet ein jungen elch. Er hat es verfolgt. Er kam nach Heim. Mit dem Hinterbein des Elchs im Maul.
      Als ich ein Kind war, fuhren mein Bruder und ich wie die Herzöge von Hazzard durch die Hinterwälder. Unser Ford Explorer von 1989 hatte keine Türen, keine Windschutzscheibe, keine Motorhaube. Auf der Autobahn illegal, aber auf unbefestigten wegen legal und unterhaltsam!
      Wir gingen mit Waffen zu unserer Hütte auf dem Hügel und schossen auf leere Bierdosen und Flaschen.
      Mein Hund und ich erkundeten den Wald auf der Suche nach Tennisbällen. Oder auf der Jagd nach Heffalumps und Woozles!

      (Full disclosure here, I'm not British either)
      As far as I'm aware, It's mostly because the early Hanoverians were seen as too foreign (George I supposedly couldn't even speak English). If I'm not mistaken, there were also religious reasons, since the Hanoverians were Protestant whilst the Jacobite Pretenders were Catholic, but I'm not sure.

      @London.Uncovered "more Germanic" =/= closer to German. The terms " Germanic" and "German" are not synonyms. English and Scots are both parts of the Anglo-Frisian family, descended from North Sea/Ingaevonic Germanic dialects. Modern Standard German descends from Old High German. You're correct about the influence Old Norse has had on Scots, but its influence is similar in English. "Aye" is not an exclusively Scots word, but also frequently found in several English dialects (more so in the North, where the Angles settled, as it happens, Scots is descended from Anglic dialects of Old English). There's lots of North Germanic words in English, perhaps more than you realise.
