About James Stuart, Duke of Cambridge

  • James Stuart, Duke of Cambridge KG (12 July 1663 – 20 June 1667) was the second son of the Duke of York (later James II of England) and his first wife, Anne Hyde.
  • In 1664, the infant James became the first Duke of Cambridge and Baron of Dauntsey, titles his uncle, King Charles II, created especially for him.
  • The King also appointed Cambridge a Knight of the Garter, but never invested him due to his untimely death.
  • Cambridge received a yearly pension of £3,000 from the king. Had Cambridge survived his early years, he would have been the first Protestant in the line of succession to the crown, ahead of his sisters Mary and Anne, when the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 deposed his father and insisted on a Protestant succession.
