George hated George while George in the other hands hates George and George as well.
Thats a lot of georges
You forgot George. He hated George's son George and his cousin George so much that George didn't speak to George, George, and George for years
@Johnny Yes! Let us Raise the Glass and Say a Toast! TO ALL THE GEORGES! YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY! CHEERS, EVERYONE! 🍻
I am currently dying EDIT: Grammar
It's a George Problem. Rich Men didn't want to pay tax.
"It's a Hannover family tradition that fathers and sons hated each other" Pffftttt!!! That got me rolling on the floor
George I : I was the sad one
George II: I was the bad one
George III: I was the mad one
George iv: and I was the fat one
George's name is the curse...
Weren't George I and George II equally bad?
Queen Victoria: im all of that
George Washington: I was the rebellious one- wait I wasn't in this song
This was never part in the script
George 1 was the bad one
I dont blame George for hating his father, I would hate my father too if he imprisoned my mother.
#Facts!!!
Henry II: First time?
Which one
@Syndicalist Juelz ik just a joke
"Why did America revolt against George III?"
"Because they want their tea cheap."
And that's the tea
In fact, King George III was not treating the Colonies fair. He treated them more like slave labor. They could never get ahead. They would manipulate trade deals so we always owed more to the Crown and could never seem to get out of debt. We were dealing in tobacco, rum and cotton and every time we got the short end of the stick.
Nah we just throw that shit in the harbor
I can't blame them. I'm very thrifty... And I'm a proud American...
I know this is a joke but no American revolt against George lll because he took there right and money greedy
Can ya blame them that shit can be expensive if it's all they could drink especially those without a real, clean, proper water source.
"He died. On the toilet."
But... why? And how? And why specifically on the toilet? _Don't leave us like this-_
Peggy! It’s not uncommon to die on the toilet. The bearing down (from trying to push out a constipated bit of fecal matter), can increase the blood pressure which can then dislodge a clot or piece of place that can then travel to the brain, lung, or other parts of the body, causing a stroke.

Bonnie Long Yes! And it can also stimulate your vagus nerve causing a heart attack.
I don't know, history buffs like me and her just like saying it.
He had a Royal Flush.
George IV :Finally after 58 years i am ki-
Prince charles:Hold my beer!
Actually King Edward VII was crowned at 59, the oldest to be crowned to date, Charles if he outlives his mother will be 70 and counting. However, when George IV was around 50 he became "de facto" King as his father, George III was declared incompetent due to dementia so a Regency was formed and George IV was the Regent.
@@janefelix3821 William IV was actually the the oldest crowned to date. He was crowned at 64
@@Yasin_2312 Thanks. However, Charles if he outlives his mother will be the oldest as he is already past 70 as his mother is the oldest Monarch in English history. Until Charles, Edward VII was the longest reigning heir as he was born heir and took the crown at 59. Charles became heir at 3 and William IV became heir at 54, when his brother George IV took the crown from their father.
@@janefelix3821 yes that’s true
@@janefelix3821 he won’t be king because Queen Elizabeth II is inevitable. She will outlive everyone. Even Prince William, Prince George, even you, even me, and every human ever

Victoria was the last of the Hanoverians. Like her predecessors she had a very strained relationship with most of her children, including the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII).
Princess caroline is married into the house of Hanover
@@maggiemae7749 Yes, but her husband is a descendant of George III, not of Victoria.
@@gidzmobug2323 George III was Hanover too. Victoria was the last Hanover because the children take the father's family so her son was a Saxe-Colmburg Goethe. During WW1 her grandson, George V changed it to Windsor.
What a change in tone George VI was, a man who truly loved his children. The British royal family has had the good fortune of several great "resets" after bad leaders, including Victoria not long after George IV and George VI after his brother Edward VIII and father George V.
@@thunderbird1921it’s just sad that George VI was a good man, but married a narcissist (the Queen Mother)
That part about George I murdering his wife's lover and burying him under her bedroom floor is crazy. I've never heard of anything like that. 😂😅🤣
Chauntel Shannon the story of Sophia Dorothea is really sad, but incredibly interesting
Proves the usually saying of Americans will drive you nuts in George 3 he took it literally.
Henry the 8th probably would have done that to his 5th wife Catherine Howard if see didn't execute her
Wonder if she knew it? When did she know it? Or did the smell tip her off?
I heard about it from another documentary and followed up on it. The story goes that In August 2016 bones were found under the Leineschloss castle during a renovation project and they were believed to be the remains. Testing proved the bones came from 5 different Human skeletons along with some animal bones.
The other part of the story is that when he was caught in the act of trying to elope more or less with the Princess out of the castle, he was caught by the guards and George Louis had him murdered and the corpse dumped in the Leine River. His body was never found.
Makes sense. I always had a hard time believing that somebody could just stash a rotting corpse under some wooden floor boards in a house and NOBODY notice the smell???
How come it always seemed like these kings had no trouble having children out of wedlock but could never had children with their actual wives?? And NOT from lack of trying 😂
In modern times, fertility problems are a two-way street; 50% of the time, something's wrong w/ the guy; 50% of the time, something's wrong w/ the gal. I don't see why it would be any different in earlier times; sometimes women were just 'barren' just as men are sometimes 'impotent.'
For example, William III & Mary II had no children b/c Mary had suffered an early miscarriage which rendered her infertile. Earlier, Charles II's wife Catherine of Braganza is assumed to be infertile, since she never had any pregnancies while Charles had plenty of illegitimate children.
Or even going back to Henry VIII; his early fertility problems w/ Catherine of Aragon probably had to do w/ Catherine (Catherine was quite a bit more inbred than Henry was, & supposedly she liked fasting even while pregnant). By the time Henry manages to annul his marriage to Catherine, he's in his 40s. Men in their 40s can suffer a dramatic loss of fertility. It seems possible to me that he fathered Elizabeth & Ed while subfertile. He was also becoming quite obese at this age, & obesity can also dramatically lower male fertility. He was certainly impotent by the time he married Catherine Howard.
In the case of George IV & his wife, it had nothing to do w/ fertility; they simply hated each other, & literally the only night they could be bothered to sleep w/ each other was their wedding night, which just so happened to produce Charlotte of Wales. George's brothers, at the time of Charlotte's untimely death, were either unmarried (as they preferred the bachelor life) or in marriages as equally miserable as his own.
By the time they *do* contract marriages, most of them are, like Henry VIII, in their 40s or older. B/c the Hanoverians tend to be a bit heavy-set & corpulent themselves, some of them may have been infertile themselves at the time. Enough of them managed to father children to keep the line going, however. There are still male-line Hanoverians alive today, even; the descendants of Queen Victoria's uncle Ernest Augustus, who succeeded William IV in Hanover due to the practice of Salic Law in those territories.
King William IV who had 10 children with actress Dorothea Bland did not marry until he was 53 figuring that being the third son, chances are neither he nor any of his issues would make it to be ruler. However, since his older brother George, son #1, hated his wife, he only produced two legitimate children, and one died before the age of 1, common in those days. So everyone banked on Charlotte being a future Queen, especially once she married and became pregnant by 19. When she died in childbirth to a stillborn, it mean that there were no legitimate grandchildren for King George III. Since George's (son) wife was 48, she could not produce any more children and his second son, Frederick passed without children. So there was a rush for the other sons to produce an heir. William did marry and had 2 children, but they died by age 2, again common. By this time he was around 57, so his fertility was in question. So the remaining 3 sons, each had on child, given they were also around 50. So the child from the oldest of those three was Victoria, daughter of son #4, Edward, who died before Victoria turned 1, thus no younger brother to displace her. Victoria did her primary job as Queen and had 9 children, so no heir issues, as did all the future rulers, except for Edward VIII, who led to a scandal with an American divorcee, but that is another story.
@@janefelix3821 actually
George IV only had one kid, Princess Charlotte.
Also, Princess Charlotte married at twnery, suffered a miscarriage, became pregnant again, but died after childbirth at 21.
@@napoleonbonaparte7529 Thanks. The only point was that George IV's wife died a year into his reign and I'm sure there was some pressure for him to try for an heir, as any child he had would have been next in line. However, assuming he waited the customary year for morning, he would have been around 60 for a remarriage, so I'm sure that given some of his brothers produced heirs by then, William (though they died young), Edward, Ernest, and Adolphus, the need for legitimate grandchildren was not as pressing.
I think it was the fact that the "marriage pool" for royals was relatively small for so many generations, allowing for undesirable fertility issues and other genetic health problems (which can also themselves contribute to miscarriages and whatnot) to be passed down. Of course average people did not usually marry outside of their class, but even so the royal marriage pool was far smaller and had to be navigated carefully for special political reasons, too.

George III was a great king. If he didn't bet on the responsibility that came with his power, the whole kingdom would've been bankrupt long before George IV took the throne. His subjects adored him, he avoided war for as long as he could, and if involved, he did everything he could to support his army. There's actual evidence that the king kept a list of war expenses- so he wasn't just sitting around letting his docile prime minister do his will, he lifted his finger and when needed the extra hand, called for different ideas. He wasn't bad at all.

The part on George III is a bit harsh. You should have mentioned how successfull his reign actually was.
Kendy He was the longest reigning King and third longest reigning monarch in British History!
Don't forget his bloody son King George II and his blood son the Duke of Cumberland. He killed all the innocent women and children of the Highlands in Scotland. They went out and shot them. They captured the men and took them as slaves or imprisoned them.
yeah, his story is actually the one i sympathize with the most. he not only had a terrible childhood, but his mental illness became the only thing he was known for. you really dont hear a lot about the george, that made sure that the woman who had tried to murder him got proper care, the george who said right after almost being stabbed ”the poor creature is mad! do not hurt her, for she has not hurt me!!”. you also dont hear about the george, who was a caring and loving father (something very unusual for royalty) and a faithful husband, nor about the george who was tortured horribly by so-called doctors that george the fourth hired to ”fix” his mental illness. i wish someone would talk more about that george. thats the george i want to hear more about.
He also loved his wife and didnot have any whores.

Fun Fact: In the Brighton Pavilion, The once Prince George 4th had built a tunnel reaching from the Pavillion palace to Maria Fitzherbert's house which was around the corner and George used to secretly meet with Maria in the tunnel.
George II died fulfilling his 'duty'
My husband’s niece just married Prince Christian of Hanover 3 years ago, and they’ve had twins (a boy and a girl) in the meantime, which are now cousins to my daughter, so I’ve come to be very interested in the Hanover history.
The present British royals are descendants of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Hanover King George I's mother Sophia, Electress of Hanover was descended from Mary Stuart, who was her great-grandmother.
While if you want to be technical they are all descended from Elizabeth Woodville, Queen Consort to King Edward IV, as they were the great-great grandparents of Mary Queen of Scots.
@@janefelix3821 If you want to get *even more* technical, they descend from a great number of German Houses as well (that maligned connection).
Of course, the future George II declared, upon his arrival to England, that he had not a drop of blood that was not English. So, how do we square these claims away?
Well, both of George II's parents belonged to the House of Guelph (or Hanover, or Brunswick-Lüneburg, whichever branch-name you prefer), a House of storied history in the Holy Roman Empire; it produced 1 Emperor (Otto IV) & several Dukes of Saxony.
More importantly for our question, it was also deemed noble enough for King Henry II of England to marry his eldest daughter by Eleanor of Aquitaine in to. Matilda of England dutifully married the Duke of Saxony & had several sons; Henry, count Palatine (cognatic ancestor of the Wittelsbachs), Emperor Otto IV (beloved nephew of Richard the Lionhearted), & William, duke of Lüneburg. George II traced his male-line from the later.
Thus you could say, even his 'German' blood was not without some drop of English in it.
Even the present dynasty has its English connections. While the 'official' name of the House is Windsor, its 'proper' name is Saxe-Coburg & Gotha (or Wettin, if you prefer the dynastic name). The branch of this family to which Prince Albert belonged was not particularly prominent, but it did have its moments; it descended in the all-male line from Frederick I, margrave of Meissen.
Margrave Frederick was not much of a historical figure himself, but he was descended from the best of them; his mother was Margaret of Sicily, only surviving child of the final Hohenstaufen Emperor, Frederick II by his 3rd wife, Isabella of England, daughter of John Lackland.
Since Frederick II's other legitimate line culminated in Conradin, who died at the hands of Charles of Anjou, Margaret's line is the sole surviving legitimate descent from Emperor Frederick II (tho. his bastard son Manfred became ancestor to the Aragonese royal family, & from them, the Habsburgs). Upon his half-cousin Conradin's death, Margrave Frederick was considered one of the few hopes of the Ghibelline faction (the Hohenstaufen partisans), but this never amounted to anything.
No doubt, these connections are distant, but when it comes to matters of genealogical consequence, I find them interesting nonetheless...
@@jeandehuit5385 Interesting. Don't forget all of the rulers from the House of Hanover married German royalty, thus their children would be 3/4 German. The first to break from that tradition was the future Edward VII, he married Danish Royalty, but by then Germany and England began going on the outs. While Edward VII was not from the House of Hanover, technically, his mother, Queen Victoria was, it was just back then the children derived their family name from the father, even if the mother was the ruler, don't forget while Victoria was the 5th Queen Regnant of England, she was the first to produce and heir, so the others did not run into that issue.
So sad , I think Charlotte would’ve been an amazing Queen but history would’ve taken a different turn tho
The climate change you mentioned a few episodes back was still in force, and was one of the major reasons for the poverty and disquiet under the Georges. This culminated in 1816, which was dubbed, "The Year Without a Summer." It was the reason for the bad harvest of that year.
I recommend the song "1816: The Year Without a Summer" by Rasputina, which does a great job of capturing the horrors of the "Mini-Ice Age." It's also just a great band; I've seen them live twice and hope to do so again.
I am enjoying your videos tremendously, and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Loves these videos. The photos are great to help tell the story and the voice is clear and easy to listen to. Thank you for helping explain the British Monarchy
15:00 This is a bit harsh on William IV. He wasn't opposed to reform as such. However, the House of Lords repeatedly voted against the Reform Act, and William was put under pressure to create new peers to pad the House of Lords with supporters of the Act. He felt that this was an abuse of his powers and initially refused. Eventually he agreed to do it, but by then the threat was enough and the Lords relented and abstained from further votes, allowing the bill to pass. William's popularity did take a hit, but it subsequently recovered and he is generally regarded as a capable monarch at a very difficult time in history.
Many of this is pretty inaccurate and seems to only highlight the bad things, the Hanoverians did and ignoring all the good things.
Firstly George I. did not spend as little time in England as possible. He spend about 4/5 of his 13 year reign in England and only visited Hanover five times for very short time periods (after all he had lived there for 50 years before he ascended the British throne). Also he actually did speak English (and Latin and French and German and Italian and Dutch) but mostly corresponded in French with officials, which was customary at all European courts during that time and also he didn't talk much in general because he was rather shy and reserved. Also it was never proven that he killed his wife's Lover (although that's porbably what happened) and it is not known where said lover is buried as his body hasn't been found to this very day.
Secondly George II. may have had mistresses but he had loved his wive Queen Caroline dearly - having mistresses was fairly normal forna King in that time. Also it should be noted that he was the last king to personally lead his troops into battle and he did not go that harsh on the Scottish because he was a tyrant but because what they did was high treason and because he was aware of the fact that should the Stuart pretender succeed to the throne there would be civil war because almost everyone in GB was against a catholic monarch so you could say he had no choice but to strike hard during that time.
Also George III. did not rule more absolute than his predecessors. On the contrary he even signed over the crown estate to the parliament hereby loosing more ofnhis financial independency. Rumors that the spend money on political candidates he favoured could not be proven but what we do know is that he donated huge sums to the royal acadamy and to charity in general. He had on occasions named members of government against his will because of parliament and he also forbade extending the American colonies further to get the colonists to negotiate with native Americans instead of just stealing their land (which made him unpopular amongst the colonists). Also he pardoned two assasins who had made attempts on his life and was overall very popular in Britain during his sane periods.
Also you just gotta love how the Hanoverians are painted as trying to rule absolute here while actually it was under theyr rule that Britain really became a parliamentary Monarchy. The rulers that came before them all exercised much more power and it was only during the Hanover reign that parliament and prime minister (a position established by George I.) continuusly gained more power. By the time Victoria ascended the throne the UK was a fully formed democracy and you could say that the UK owes that to the House of Hanover because they established the necessary precedences by forming goverments and listening to parliament much more than their predecessors the Stuarts.
Hey! Is there any sources that could back up what you’ve written? Is wikipedia reliable, or is there some form of books about this?
@@saarana Wikipedia is not reliable. I don't know anyone that uses that anyone tbh.
IDK because what they did sounds just like what the Thai royals are doing to their people in the past 100 years. Being "less absolute" isn't much a credit considering the context of the world in that time--every other modern countries have progressed past absolute monarchy.
One would also argue that the royal HAD TO be less absolute, for their very own survival (see France). They couldn't resist the will of the people, so they might as well did it themselves to prevent revolution i.e. death.
Hanoverians, more like Hangoverians
Oh no...
As a kid, I hated that movie's title because it confused me with this dynasty. Now I think it describes the Hanoverians better than most history textbooks.

Ironic how George III was called mad yet he sounds like the most normal and reasonable person in the family. And even his madness can be explained by the at best ineffective treatments from his doctors
If George ii was born 1683 that would of left him 44 not 47 in 1727
They changed the times in the 1700s it affected George Washington as Well he got like a year and a half younger
Liam Kirwan You got it all wrong! George II of Great Britain (1683-1760) was 43 years old in 1727, not 44.
Sheesh, our national anthem was first a jolly up song for someone who had surgery for piles. Why am I surprised? Born to rule over us my arse!

@@maryannlockwood7806 Samuel Francis Smith completed the lyrics of "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)" in 30 minutes. It was first performed in public on July 4, 1831.
It's lucky of the British monarchy to have survived the French Revolution, Napoleon, the indulgent George IV, and the two World Wars.
Don't forget the English Civil War. Britain almost became a republic permanently, but Charles II was called back in.
Meanwhile in France everyone in France: no more queen and king
Didn't the frogs restore monarchy several times?
But yes to an emperor!
@@schoolssection The Bourbon restoration was largely pressured onto the French people by outside forces. The people barely tolerated Louis XVIII, but then his power hungry brother Charles X tried to take France back to more absolutist rule (instead of the new constitutional system). The French public and legislature furiously rebelled and then declared the leader of the House of Orleans, Louis Philippe as the new king. Charles X was forced to abdicate and LP had many of his court thrown into prison. 18 years later though, LP was overthrown after he lost public support. A republic was in place for about 4 years, then Napoleon III seized power and became Emperor after the public overwhelmingly approved a referendum (apparently legitimate).
Well at Least George I and II both brought Handel to England.
Sooo-we actually have more information on George 3. It is suspected he had bipolar disorder. But one of the meds to treat porphyria had the side effect of blue urine.

The modern Royal Family is called Windsor, because in 1917 King George V change his house name from Hanover to Windsor. Which simultaneously ended British and German relations during the last year of World War I.
That was because of the anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I. Dropping completely their German name was for their own sake of survival as the have witnessed how many other the once so powerful European Royal houses have been taken down by revolution and war...
@@fawziabdulhamid5186. At the same time Czar Nicholas II changed the name of his capital city from "St. Petersburg" to "Petrograd" for the same reason. After that time the city was renamed "Leningrad" but now it is called by its original name "St. Petersburg". It is no longer the capital city of Russia.
Nope. After Victoria, the house name was Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband.
It wasn't Hanover but Saxe-Coburg Gotha
@@clivegoodman16 it never was the capital, that was always Moscow but St Petersburg was just more popular
George II became king in June of 1727 at 43 until October30th (not 47) and was king until October 25th 1760(age 76). he was Unpopular as king until 1743. George participated at the Battle of Dettingen June 27th 1743, and thus became the last British monarch to lead an army in battle.
This was so interesting to learn about
This is a great channel. It's my go to for history plus you have a great voice for narrating
I am surprised that you do not mention the fact that the melody from God Save the King was used for a very popular American song, My Country tis of Thee. It is a very popular patriotic song that more Americans know by heart than The Star Spangled Banner.
The main focus of this video is the monarchy of the United Kingdom, not the de facto national anthem of the United States before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner".
@@RaymondHng Don't get your knickers in a twist. I just thought it was an interesting bit of trivia about the tune.
L B I have read that the melody was from an originally English drinking song. When my grandfather immigrated from England to the USA in about 1903, He & his very English brother in law went to a the theater for some vaudeville entertainment. At the beginning of the performance, the audience rose and sang
The National Anthem, but my grand father & his friend sang “God Save The Queen”, and were then THROWN out of the theater by the other audience members!!! There was no insult intended, they just sang it from habit!
Wait you know all the words to the star spangled banner? I know like the first few words & the ending
TRUE...

Isn't Queen Victoria a Hanoverian?
She is but she'll be in the next video as she fit better there time and narrative-wise.
Yes but she wanted to honor Albert so the name changed to Albert's surname/ place of origin.
@@ingriddubbel8468 The Hanover dynasty ended upon Victoria's death. The reigning house became the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha when her son Edward VII became the monarch.
Technically yes
Yes, but she changed her name and is usually seen as the first monarch of the house Saxe-coburg Gotha. The same house that still rules to this day but changed there name to Windsor during the first war to distance themselves from Germany and to seem more British.
Could you make a video on Queen Charlotte, George III wife?
0:30)It was Henri I, II, III, IV, V, & VI. Norman French was spoken in the royal court.
0:46)German was spoken from George I to Queen Victoria. About 200 years.
10:18)What was called a rebellion in Ireland is self defense.The leaders were murdered! 1155 AD, the English Pope Adrian IV (AKA Nicholas Breakspear)made Henri II, overlord of Ireland. France also had Henri I, II, III, and IV. Jean I & II (John).
The reason George V dropped the name Saxe-Coburg - Gotha is simple. The First London Blitz was done with Zeppelins & Gotha bombers.There was the 4 engine Gotha Giants. His brother-in-law changed his name from Battenburg to Montbatten.
Such an informative video 🙏❤️ Thanks 😊
Collecting coins of these monarchs makes it even more interesting to study them!!
Thank you.Enjoyed your video and excellent
presentation ♥️
I love this, and truth to be told i love the way you explain History. Question tho have you talked about the Prime Ministers of England yet? If not, can you please? 🙂😗
Make videos about the popes from Peter till now.
My Lord that would take her years!!!!!
He brought one mistress to England. The "elephant" was a half sister (illegitimate I believe). She's often mistakenly called his mistress however, there are documents where George I says they share the same blood.

Can you do a whole video on King George III
Yes that would be nice
Hanover is a town in Pennsylvania
This is both simplistic and delusional in its descriptions of events, entirely ignoring important constitutional developments and the importance of, and affection with which these monarchs were held. George III (Farmer George) was much more popular and important than depicted. This work also takes on a decidedly anti-monarchical tone.
Started with the Plantagenet to play a video Game...love this channel
He died on the toilet?!!!
Ashley Liss. Dying in the toilet is not as rare as one might imagine. Forceful bearing down can often cause a rise in blood pressure, the elevated blood pressure can dislodge a blood clot, and then the elevated pressure pushes the clot to the lungs or brain or some other vital organ. When blood pressure is elevated, think of a water/lawn hose that’s being deliberated twisted or depressed to increase the forcefulness of the water flow to wash off an area or stain/debris from the sidewalk.
George III was actually a good king. Good video, but you were a little harsh on him.
yes
Yes
I took the throne of England
Just ’cos I was protestant
A German, a prince whose English stank,
King George number one.
I like to argue, now that’s clear
Especially with my father here
And when he died of diarrhoea
I fought with my son.
I broke records with my sixty year reign
And I broke the scales with my giant frame.
Born to rule over you
King George four, three, one and two
You had to do what we told you to
Just because our blood was blue.
I was a hunk, girls adored me
Ladies all swooned before me
They would do anything for me
Or I’d have their husbands killed.
Had a war with Prince Charles Bonnie
Everyone said that I was f-f-funny
I spent everyone’s money
Our subjects were not thrilled.
I was the sad one, I was the bad one
I was the mad one, and I was the fat one.
We were born to rule over yGeorges one, three, four and two.
England’s kings, though we were German too
Him, then him, then me, then you.
(We were born) Born to rule over you (born to rule)
Gorged on fruit then I died on the loo.
People hated us, and we hated them too.
Born to rule over you.
Born to rule over you
Me I was as batty as a bonkers kangaroo.
Me I would have been more at home in a zoo
And now, now our song is through.
Yeah… Georges. (Banana.)
OH MY GOD HORRIBLE HISTORIES FAN IN THE WILD
@@kalibronx never got over it ending. still can't watch the last episode till the end bc cry too hard
"The Elephant" was the illegitimate half sister of George l, not his mistress
European royalty was still inbreeding back in that time so it's not a surprise.
It is likely that she was his half sister, but yeah, she was his mistress (just not his favorite)
It was only rumored that she was his mistress
Thank you for your help and efforts
the point you have forgotten, to mention, is
that the electorate-kingdom of hannover shared the same monarch....until victoria became queen of the UK....
the madness of george III, could have been heridetary or like the habsburgs and other royal dynasties, close inbreeding..., its seldom even mentioned....
Bonnie Prince Charlie went to Derby which is in the East Midlands [ near on middle of the UK ]
I'm glad America got it's freedom
The Hanoverians reaved My country, but We Scot's endured. The painting used in this video at 6.56, in the background there are only Union Jack and English flags.. no Scottish, Welsh or N.Irish flags in sight. This should speak volumes historically, about who was really wielding power over "the Empire"! Wonderful video as always :)
Times when Germanics, Anglo Saxons, Celts, And Mediteranneans had lots of ethnic wars
Imagine some lady I know called her adorable twins Charlotte and Albert ❤️
I enjoyed your video a lot.
William IV never married his mistress Dorothea Jordan. He had just lived with her for 20 years.
P.S. at 4:54 Russian Orthodoxy is NOT Catholicism. Ever heard of the Great Schism?
Very true and Sweden definitely wasn't Catholic either.
The closer I get to the modern royals the more averted I become!
Sad, how can anyone hate their own kid?
They’re royal families who
1)Rarely chose their wife, so their offspring is related to the wife they didn’t want
2)They lived away from them, raised by government officals, so they didn’t grow up with them, raising them
Unless your my shoes, my son was a pain.
@@elizabeth1stofenglandirela901 All parents feel that way about their kids sometimes. It just seems so foreign to me to hate one's own child.

Yeah...
Georges!
Banana...
I’m George the Fourth, the regent king
Which means I was just standing in
Acting king because my dad
George the Third had gone barking mad.
Banana!
Great palaces I did design
Buckingham was one of mine
Art and fashion I so rated
And wives?
That’s more complicated.
Actresses and duchesses
The great loves of my life
I loved more girls than I ate pies
But I couldn’t stand my wife.
He couldn't stand his wife.
Go away!
I only married Queen Caroline
When my debts began to climb
‘Cause if I agreed to tie the knot
I said I’d pay off the lot!
But the wedding caused all sorts of strife
‘Cause I already had a wife
A divorced Catholic?
Dad did sigh,
But the mad old goat just wouldn’t die!
Still here! Oops, spoke too soon.
At last, I can go solo!
As true king, my reign began
Though I was now older than your nan!
And as the ruler of our nation
I banned my wife from my coronation.
And knowing now that I did hate her
She promptly died just three weeks later.
But all those pies that I got through
Meant ten years later, I died too!
Hello, have we met? I'm a kangaroo.
Actresses, duchesses
The great loves of my life
I loved more girls than I ate pies
But I couldn’t stand my wife
I had just ten years on the throne
Do you remember that?
No, all that you remember is...
I was really fat.

Losing your head is another way to say going crazy. So he did lose his head- just metaphorically rather than literally.
