What Information You Have About King George The Third? Especially Examples Of His Unusual Behaviour.

King George III of Great Britain and Ireland, was the King of Hanover and Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, he lived between 1760-1820. He was King when the American colonies withdrew from British rule. He was the elector of Hanover and elected as King of Hanover from 1815-20, when he died of dementia. His policies are considered to have caused the American Revolution against Britain. Attempts to force him to abdicate the throne failed and although he was blind from 1809 and had suffered an episode of dementia in 1765 he continued to reign until until his death although his son Geroge IV acted as a Regent from 1811 until his death at which time he became King.

Because there is little else available about George III, I wonder, if, you are referring to the article in the Uncyclopedia which is supposed to be a parody of King George III written about Bill Clinton and many other personalities. Which in reality is a very disgusting piece of work. Reference is made to Jack the Ripper calling himself George III running through the streets of England killing people whose names, most adults would recognize. Or, perhaps you are referring to the children's history lessons taught through the Liberty's KIDS website. A daily episode appears about the control of Britain over the American colonies and the American Revolution, which eventually won freedom for the colonies, during King George III's reign.

One of the peculiar things George III was famous for is signing all his license documents with a signature at the top as George II and at the bottom as GR These licenses granted people the right to export and import goods for a payment to him personally. One in particular is the is L1500 from Richard Burke the Financial Secretary to the Treasury for Intelligence services.
