For over a century of turmoil, upheaval and scandal, Great Britain
was a Georgian land. From the day the German-speaking George I
stepped off the boat from Hanover, to the night that George IV,
bloated and diseased, breathed his last at Windsor, the four kings
had presided over a changing nation. Kings of 18th Century Great
Britain offers a fresh perspective on the lives of the four Georges
and the events that shaped their characters and reigns. From love
affairs to family feuds, political wrangling and beyond, it is a
chance to peer behind the pomp and follow these iconic figures from
cradle to grave. As their very different lives will show, being a
king isn't always about grand parties and jaw-dropping jewels, and
sometimes following in a father's footsteps can be the hardest job
around. Take a step back in time and meet the wives, mistresses,
friends and foes of these remarkable kings who shaped the nation,
and find out what really went on behind closed palace doors.
Whether dodging assassins, marrying for money, digging up their
ancestors or sparking domestic disputes that echoed down the
generations, the Georgian kings of Great Britain were never short
on drama.
