June Ferguson s Royalty GED NOTES 1). royalty.ged George III of Great Britain and Ireland, King of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick Luneburg r. 1760 1820 , who presided over the loss of Britain s American colonies. He was also elector of Hanover 1760 1815 and by decision of the Congress of Vienna, King of Hanover 1815 20 . After the dismissal of several ministers who did not satisfy him, the king found a firm supporter in Fredereick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford, Prime Minister from 1770 to 1782. Lord North executed the royal policies that provoked the American Revolution. The unsuccessful conclusion of that protracted conflict forced North to resign, and during the government crisis that followed when three cabinets came and went in less than two years. The King himself was almost induced to abdicate. In 1809 the king became blind. As early as 1765 he had suffered an apparent dementia, and in 1788 his derangement recurred to such a degree that a regency bill was passed, but the king recovered the following year. In 1811 he succumbed hopelessly to this dementia and his son, later George IV, acted as regent for the rest of his reign. or 4 Jun 1738, Norfolk House, St. James Square, London, England?royalfam.ged AFN 9FNG NM Copyrighted material George III was the longest reigning of male British monarchs. Born onJune 4, 1738, he was th e son of Frederick, prince of Wales, and thegrandson of George II. He succeeded his grandfath er in 1760, his fatherhaving died in 1751. George had high but impractical ideas of kingship. On his accession hesought to rule withou t regard to party, to banish corruption frompolitical practice, and to abandon the Hanoveria n preoccupations of hispredecessors. The chief minister chosen to implement his new system of politics, the third earl of Bute 1713 92 , however, was an unpracticedpolitician who merel y succeeded in disrupting the established politics ofthe day without creating a viable altern ative. The result was 10 years ofministerial instability and public controversy, which ende d only in 1770with the appointment of Frederick, Lord North, an able and congenialminister. Although never an autocratic monarch in the sense that his opponentscontended, George III wa s always a powerful force in politics. He was astrong supporter of the war against America, a nd he viewed the concessionof independence in 1783 with such detestation that he consideredab dicating his throne. At the same time he fought a bitter personal feudwith the Whig leader Ch arles James Fox, and his personal interventionbrought the fall of the Fox North ministry in 1 783. He then found anotherminister, William Pitt, the Younger, who suited him. Even as late a s 1801he preferred, however, to force Pitt to resign as prime minister ratherthan permit Cath olic Emancipation, a measure that he interpreted ascontrary to his coronation oath to uphol d the Church of England. After 1801 George III was increasingly incapacitated by an illness,sometimes identified as po rphyria, that caused blindness and senility.His recurring bouts of insanity became a politica l problem and ultimatelycompelled him to submit to the establishment of a formal Regency in 1 811.The regent was his oldest son, the future George IV, one of 15 childrenborne him by his w ife, Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg Strelitz. George III was bitterly criticized by Whig historians of his own andlater days. But 20th cent ury scholarship has somewhat redressed thebalance, and he is now seen as a strong minded bu t public spiritedmonarch who perhaps ascended the throne at an overly young andimpressionabl e age. He learned quickly, however, and developed into ashrewd and sensible statesman, althou gh one of conservative views. To thecourt he brought a sense of public duty and private moral ity that provedpopular in a society already being transformed by the evangelicalrevival. He s howed considerable interest in agricultural improvement andwas an avid collector of painting s and books. The best loved of theHanoverian rulers, he enjoyed a personal reputation that st ood his housein good stead during the disastrous reign of his son George. George IIIdied on J an. 29, 1820.
