Q2 is badly worded because there were several Jacobite risings. The 'Fifteen' wasn't even a battle; it was the name given to the 1715 uprising in Scotland, which (as far as hostilities were concerned) started with the Battle of Sherrifmuir.
However the Battle of the Boyne, which was part of the Irish uprising, occurred 25 years earlier.
