George III, born in 1738, was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until his death in 1820, making him one of the longest-reigning monarchs in British history. He ascended to the throne during a period of great change, including the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.
Often remembered for his struggle with mental illness, believed to be porphyria, his reign witnessed significant constitutional developments, including the loss of the American colonies and the union with Ireland. George III’s personal rule was marked by attempts to assert royal authority, which sometimes led to conflicts with Parliament and his ministers.
Despite his challenges, he remained popular among the British public, particularly during times of national crisis, earning him the nickname “Farmer George” for his simple lifestyle and close connection with his people.
