One battle during this conflict saw a force under Thomas Forster forced to surrender after being encircled by the army of Charles Wills. After the Marquis de Torcy denied aid to this conflict's instigator, a meeting to plan this event was held at St. Germain between the Duke of Berwick and Charles Brux. The main instigator of this conflict had previously refused Bollingbroke's advice that he become an Anglican, and it commenced when John Erskine, Earl of Mar, raised an army at Perth. After Erskine fought to a stalemate with John (*) Campbell at Sherrifmuir on the same day that the Battle of Preston took place, this uprising's namesake landed at Peterhead, but the rebels were routed by Campbell and that namesake had to retreat to France where he married a granddaughter of Jan Sobieski.. For 10 points, identify this uprising of Scots under the putative leadership of James Edward, also known as the Old Pretender, which occurred thirty years before a similar revolt known as "the 45"
