Who is King George the 3rd?

Question

Who is King George the 3rd?

Answer 1

You ask 'is', not 'was', so I assume you are not referring to George III, the third Hanoverian King of Great Britain.

Therefore, I think you could be asking about the pub 'King George III' which is situated on Canvey Island in Essex and is famous for its homemade *******.

Answer 2

He was the grandson of George II, and the grandfather of Queen Victoria.

Answer 3

George III was King of England and her Empire from 1760-1820 making him the second longest reigning monarch in British history (Victoria, his grandaughter, is the longest).

He prided himself on being British to the core as his two predecessors of the House of Hanover had been born in Germany and had never really cared for Britain. With his amiable queen (Charlotte) he echoed the tastes and prejudices of the rising middle class.

Anxious to restore royal powers that had gradually dwindled over the previous 50 years, he was practically the last monarch able to a large extent to choose his own ministers which ended half a century of Whig dominance in Parliament.

Dutiful, hard-working and genial, he made the monarchy more popular and delighted in his nickname "Farmer George", born of his experimental farms in Windsor Park.

Although he was widely blamed for the loss of the 13 American colonies and is still regarded as a wicked despot there today.

Sadly, George suffered from periodic attacks of insanity, now known to have been symptoms of porphyria (from which we get the myths of the werewolf and vampire) but he didn't, as was suggested in an earlier post, think he was made of glass (that was Chales X of France).

His last attack in 1810 proved permanent and he was confined and his eldest son was proclaimed Regent in 1811.
