    Whenever people talk about what made the king mad, why don’t they mention the fact he lost THREE children, two being only one and four, and the other a daughter who died at 25 that he absolutely adored and doted on? He even had conversations with his son Octavius during his bouts of madness

    • @livingincaptivityIII
      @livingincaptivityIII Pƙed měsĂ­cem

      George III was not "mad". He suffered from Porphyria. Porphyria is not a "mental illness". Porphyria is a defect in the metabolism of red blood cell molecules, responsible for transporting oxygen. One of its symptoms is suffering from hallucinations and mental confusion, among many other ailments, hence the belief, at the time, that the king was mad. Today it is a disease that can be managed with medication.
      I agree that the loss of his children caused him great suffering as well.

Now he's "lost" that, not simply to another superpower, but to a group of revolting colonists with some foreign assistance. In the eyes of the public, many would have seen him as having utterly failed to carry on the glory of his ancestors and Britain's empire. Now imagine also the brutal ECONOMIC effects on the empire this loss had, and the stress on George III would have been overwhelming (not including his other problems). Perhaps this helped trigger the condition.

Lord North, the disgusting PM along with his allies, was the REAL villain. Still, I feel George III could have definitely done more to try to de-escalate the situation (perhaps suggest to the Parliament the idea of some form of representation for overseas subjects). While North was the main tyrant, this is still a large stain on George's legacy.

      How sad for all of them 😱 thanks, I don't know if I learned this part. I don't normally defend V, but in fairness to her, she had a monstrosity of an upbringing, with that psychotic man and her mother. She never got a chance to grow up naturally and suddenly she had to become monarch. Was madly in love with Albert, but was pregant for almost 17 years essentially iirc! And then she lost him only a few years after their last child. People who go through what Victoria and I'm assuming what George III did, will actually go mad. The human mind just can't cope with that level of immeasurable trauma. I don't like that queen, she was insufferable, the abuse she put her own children through. I always think of Albert, I don't know how he could stand being married to her, though he wasn't as perfect as many of us like to think either. All the same, in fairness to Victoria, there's no way she would've ended up well, with the way she was abused and traumatized growing up. I don't think she knew how to handle being human, and in a way, my heart really mourns for her 💔

Secondly, as far as the well-to-do were concerned, the healthy among them wouldn't consume many of those medications, and the poor most likely not at all. And lastly, physicians in that day were woefully deficient in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and medical theories were primitive and questionable (the germ theory of disease hadn't yet emerged, for example).

    A lot of people like to think America won the revolutionary war because of France, but in reality it was largely due in no small part to the pure incompetence of the British government at the time.
    It’s worthy noting the Americans originally didn’t even want to leave the Empire, but due to the complete lack of communication coming from the British government, and the constant dysfunction in Parliament, divisions would constantly fester and grow out of control.
    Had the British been more attentive, and faster to negotiate and solve some of America’s problems, the war could have likely been completely avoided.
    However, this is what happens when incompetent morons end up at the helm of a world spanning empire. The empire begins to crumble.

      George III suffered from Porphyria. Porphyria is not a "mental illness". Porphyria is a defect in the metabolism of red blood cell molecules, responsible for transporting oxygen. One of its symptoms is suffering from hallucinations and mental confusion, among many other ailments, hence the belief, at the time, that the king was mad. Today it is a disease that can be managed with medication.

But the cat's outta the bag regarding his lapses, so it's a hook for portraying him regardless of historical accuracy. That's show biz ... but it would be helpful to know if he was victim to odd behaviors prior to his serious breaks. Anyone know something about this?

      Britain also sent arms and equipment to the confederacy in an effort to weaken the US.
      America even allied with Russia on multiple occasions to weaken the British.
