 == Alicia, Victor, and Elizabeth == 

 What is the purpose of having them listed here? Certainly there is only one person who is regarded by Jacobites as being the heir general to the claims of James II and VII. Having them here seems to be entirely for confusing the issue, and making it appear to the firsttime reader that Jacobitism is so silly that its adherents can't even agree as to who the legitimate King or Queen is!  

 Firstly the House of Savoy is easily refuted, as the article itself states, as British and Italian succession laws differ. For the period 1807-1845 the House of Savoy was the ""rightful"" Jacobite House, but Sardinian law does not Female Succession, so even Mary, while being of the House of Savoy, was never the Head of the House of Savoy. 

 Secondly, Alicia's claim is ludicrous. CErtainly the marriage of Mary could not have taken place in Britain in a C of E ceremony, but so what? They were married in a land where their marriage was legal and valid(with Papal dispensation), and British law clearly states that if a marriage is valid in the land where it takes place, then British law considers it legal. So why even mention this ""Alternate line of succession""? Perhaps this line SHOULD be mentioned, but with its origins mentioned(ie. created by Hanoverian propagandists). 

 Thirdly, Elizabeth. The ranting and raving which states that all of Sophia's elder siblings' marriages were ""obviously null and void"" etc has no place in an encyclopaedia. Referring to Medieval laws that had long since been abolished, merely because they would supposedly support Elizabeth. I shuddered when reading that. I have not removed it yet, but would first suggest that someone may tidy it up, and make it read more like an encyclopaedia than like the outburst of a lunatic. Failing that, ie if it is impossible to make sense of it, it should be removed. 
     
 Lastly, the heading for this section states that Franz of Bavaria is the ""most widely recognized"" Jacobite heir. In fact, he is the ONLY Jacobite heir.   "
