WHAT IS STUART?

Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie and The Young Pretender) and Henry Benedict Stuart were the sons of James Francis Edward Stuart (The Old Pretender). Their grandfather was James II of England (and James VII of Scotland), who was deposed in 1688 in The Glorious Revolution. The ensuing Jacobite movement, which ultimately failed, sought to restore the House of Stuart. Henry Benedict Stuart was a Roman Catholic cardinal and although he did call himself Henry IX for a while, unlike his brother, he did not actively pursue his claim to the throne. (The names are linked to more information about them.)

From 2007: 1807 ($2000) In July, Jacobitism ended with the death of Henry Benedict, the last claimant of this royal family to the British throne

Karen thought it was York. She bet and lost it all.

Lindsey went with Tudor. She lost $10,995, leaving her $5.00.

Jonathan got it right. He bet $9,001 and won the game with $22,001. Jonathan Lindeen is the new Jeopardy! champ.

Lindsey dropped to $7,000 after missing the last DD, and Alex Trebek said “We have a 3-way tie– for the lead or for third place.” That was followed by two back-to-back triple stumpers in “ARTISTS ON FILM”:

($1600) Kirk Douglas played Van Gogh in this 1950s biopic

($2000) Willem Dafoe played Van Gogh in this 2018 film from artist/director Julian Schnabel
