George III

Monarch

George III was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until 1820, and concurrently Elector and later King of Hanover. His long reign was marked by the American Revolutionary War, which resulted in the loss of the American colonies, and major conflicts with revolutionary and Napoleonic France. Unlike his two Hanoverian predecessors, he was born in Britain and used English as his first language, expressing a deep connection to his country. In the latter part of his life, George III suffered from recurrent and eventually permanent mental illness, leading to the establishment of a regency under his son.
