George III

George III (George William Frederick; 4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the union of the two kingdoms on 1 January 1801, after which he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death in 1820.
George presided over the Seven Years War in which Britain defeated France and gained their territorial holdings, but subsequently saw the loss of a number of British colonies during the American Revolutionary War. He remained king during the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic Wars, which concluded in Napoleon's defeat. In the later stages of his life, George was afflicted with a recurring and later permanent illness, which remains unidentified to this day.
