George III (George William Frederick) (4 June 1738 - 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until 1 January 1801, and thereafter King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death. George was the third British monarch of the House of Hanover, but the first to be born in Britain and use English as his first language. In fact, he never even visited Germany, even though he also held the title of Prince Electorate of Hanover from 1760 to 1806 and of King of Hanover from 1814 until his death. His reign of 59 years was exceeded only by Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II.

| - George III (George William Frederick) (4 June 1738 - 29 January 1820) was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until 1 January 1801, and thereafter King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death. George was the third British monarch of the House of Hanover, but the first to be born in Britain and use English as his first language. In fact, he never even visited Germany, even though he also held the title of Prince Electorate of Hanover from 1760 to 1806 and of King of Hanover from 1814 until his death. His reign of 59 years was exceeded only by Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II. George III's long reign was marked by a series of military conflicts involving his kingdom and much of the rest of Europe. Early in his reign, Great Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War, becoming the dominant European power in North America and India. However, many of its American colonies were soon lost in the American Revolutionary War, which led to the establishment of the United States. Twenty years after that, Britain was engaged in the Napoleonic Wars. His personal life was marked by frequent bouts of mental illness, and from 1811 onward he lived in virtual seclusion.
