释义 |
"Nero the Second" or "Nero II" is a traditional ballad that was popular amongst Jacobites in Great Britain and Ireland during the first half of the eighteenth century.[1] The Nero of the title, a reference to the tyrannical Roman Emperor Nero, is a thinly disguised version of George I the Hanoverian who had come to the throne in 1714. Jacobites supported a rival Stuart claimant the English-born James Francis Edward Stuart, styled James III by his followers, who was now living in exile. References1. ^Fenlon p.186 Bibliography
