King George III
George III was born in 1738, first son of Frederick, Prince of Wales and Augusta. His father died of a sudden illness in 1751 and left George at the age of thirteen. George III succeeded his grandfather, George II in 1760. ... George was afflicted with porphyia, a madding disease which disrupted his reign as early as 1765.
When George became King in 1760, he was determined to recover the prerogative lost to the ministerial council by the first two Georges. ... William Pitt was toppled by Whigs after the Peace of Parris, and from that point men were hand-picked by George as Cabinet members, acting as little more than yes-men known as the “King’s Friends”.
