Jacobite usageOne of the Irish Jacobite regiments formed in the 1690s from veterans of James II's Irish campaign, the Régiment Rooth (nicknamed 'the Pretender's body-guard'), marched to ‘When the king enjoys his own again’.[3] Upon Queen Mary II's death in 1694, Bristol Jacobites publicly rejoiced with bell-ringings and danced through the streets to the song.[4] In September 1711 a commander of a company of London militia, Captain John Silk, had his trained bands march to the song through the City.[5] In 1713 the Tory clergyman Henry Sacheverell preached to the Sons of the Clergy and afterwards attended a gathering with (amongst others) Dr. Bisse (the Bishop of Hereford) and Francis Atterbury (the Bishop of Rochester). The song was played by the musicians and met with such a favourable reception that it was repeated and when the musicians tried to play a different song they were met with great hissing.[6] After the accession of the first Hanoverian king, George I, there was a resurgence of Jacobitism in the form of celebrating Charles II's Restoration Day (29 May). On that day in 1715 Bristol Jacobites were heard humming the tune.[7] At Oxford on Restoration Day in 1716 local Jacobite gownsmen disrupted attempted Whig celebrations of it by playing the tune.[8] According to the historian Daniel Szechi, this was the most popular Jacobite song of the period.[9] In February 1716 two Exeter College, Oxford undergraduates were beaten by officers for playing the song.[10] In 1722 in St Albans the future MP for the town, Thomas Gape, had musicians play the song during an election riot.[11][12] Words
