1719 CE

The plotted restoration of the Stuarts to the British throne in two Jacobite expeditions to Scotland in the spring of 1719 is another extravagant scheme of Alberoni's.

By provoking Britain, France, the Netherlands and the Empire to form the Quadruple Alliance, his hasty and ambitious plans have brought a flood of disaster to Spain, for which Alberoni is held responsible.

France launches an invasion of eastern Spain while the British successfully raid Vigo.

With Philip V fast becoming the common enemy of all Europe, Alberoni is on December 5, 1719, ordered to leave Spain, Elizabeth herself having taken an active part in procuring the decree of banishment.
