  • George Augustus, also known as George II, was the King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and Archtreasurer and Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire. Greedy and extravagant, King George was not a popular ruler. The most notable of his many loyal subjects and officials were Lord John Carteret and Prime Minister Henry Pelham.
  • George II (George Augustus; ; 30 October / 9 November 1683 – 25 October 1760) was King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) and Archtreasurer and Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire from 11 June 1727 (O.S.) until his death. For two centuries after the death of George II, history tended to view him with disdain, concentrating on his mistresses, short temper, and boorishness. Since then, some scholars have re-assessed his legacy and conclude that he held and exercised influence in foreign policy and military appointments.
