NOTES
1). 1 UPDA 2 DATE 11 OCT 1727 2 PLAC Acceded House of Hanover. 23 Jun 1727 25 Oct 1760 reign of George II George II George II reigned 172760 , at the age of 60, was the last British sovereign to fight alongside his soldiers, at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743 in Germany, against the French. Like his father, for much of his reign Georges political options were limited by the strength of the Jacobite cause James Stuart the Old Pretender, and then his son, Charles Edward Stuart , with which many of the Tories were linked. George s reign was threatened in 1745 when Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, landed in Scotland. After some initial success which led to the popularity of the national anthem in its current form becoming popular among the Hanoverian loyalists, Charles was defeated at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746 and the Jacobite threat was over. The foundations of the industrial revolution were laid during George s reign, with new levels of production in industries such as coal and shipbuilding and also in agriculture, together with a rapid rise in population. Overseas, trade was boosted by successes such as Clive s victories in India at Arcot 1751 and Plassey 1757 which placed Madras and Bengal under British control, and Wolfe s capture of French held Quebec in 1759 part of a successful campaign which transferred Canada with its wealthy trade in fish and fur from Bourbon to British rule . As the country prospered and George s reign lengthened, George s early unpopularity he did not travel far in England, and much preferred Hanover changed into a general respect. The king s eldest son, Frederick, died in 1751. George s grandson therefore inherited the throne, on George s death in 1760. Additional Information George II grew up in his father s courts at Hanover but, unlike his father, adapted himself much more easily to English society. He had an easy succession, becoming the king of England and Hanover with his father s death in 1727. He was an only child. George despised his father and was in turn despised by his son, Frederick. His passions were the military, music, and strangely for a king his wife. He was married to Caroline of Anspach. He had three sons and five daughters, all of them legitimate. His wife was a great asset to him politically, as she revived the waning English court life, was very intelligent, and was an avid supporter of Prime Minister Robert Walpole. Walpole strived for years to keep George II from going to war, but eventually George won out and declared war on the Spanish in 1739. The war eventually became integrated with the war of Austrian succession and lasted for several years. George also dealt with a Jacobite uprising during his reign, in which the young pretender Charles Edward Stuart marched with a group of Scottish rebels toward London. The uprising was crushed, Charles escaped to France, and the Scottish were humiliated and massacred by the fed up English. George II was the last king to personally lead his troops into battle. George was prone to temper tantrums and intolerance of those who disagreed with him but, thanks to the prudence of Robert Walpole, led quite a successful government. With his death he passed the throne onto his grandson, George III.
