Hello Hello. Today we take a quick look at the first Hanoverian King of Britain, George I. He was certainly an interesting individual and had some contentious events happen during his reign, but he was nevertheless able to successfully put forward his claim to be King and defend his position on the throne. I hope you all are doing well, and thank you for your interest in the channel/video. As always, if I catch any errors or if any errors are brought to my attention, I will add them to the errors and corrections section of the video description. Thank you and have a great day. Cheers!

As a brit, I always prefer American narrator's but your voice is so relatable I always feel like I'm actually there watching it. Great job

I just found your channel through the producers of The People Profiles. This is a fantastic channel! I love your easy to understand storytelling, great research and you have a wonderful broadcast voice for historical documentaries. Looking forward to more documentaries from you!

This is a very interesting video as it marks the beginning of the regal usage of the name, George. What is curious about this entire episode is that King George I of Great Britain was the son of Sophia of the Palatinate, who was subsequently, the daughter of Elizabeth Stuart(aka, the Winter Queen of Bohemia) and who was the only surviving daughter of King James I of England. Quite interesting how the fortunes of dynasties can change by the consequences of unforeseen events.

[danielsantiagourtado]

[ennaie]

As always thank you for this well written and researched video. I think my views towards this monarch has definitely shifted in a positive direction

[johnbono]

So pumped that we're in the Georgian period!

[kalevader]

Awesome. So much i know about George III (rightfully so), but I don’t know that much about the first two Kings from the house of Hannover.

[jamellfoster]

Awesome job as usual. You really bring these people to life...

[savagedarksider]

I think it's worth noticing that England or should I say great Britain would have gotten A new dynasty anyway. Any children by Queen Anne wouldn't be Stuarts.

I was surprised to see this one pop up in my feed so soon but nonetheless very excited! I’ve got my own interests in the crown and am interested in different eras for different reasons, and as what’s always most interested me about the Hanovers was their interpersonal relationships with one another it was really nice to get a stronger political background along with the interpersonal drama that’s the dynasty’s main draw for me. It was a politically fascinating time in general which also helped a lot. Thanks again!!

Honestly this King is pretty bad he’s a huge hypocrite he blames his wife for cheating on him, even though he had a bunch of mistresses.This video is good but It’s kind of short, regardless it’s good

[hyun-shik]

If there’s a such thing as accidentally becoming king, this is it.

Another great video. What's the plan once you have covered the Royals?
Will you look at other monarchies or U.S. presidents?

[danielplantagenet]

A doited German rules us all
And we are forced against the law
For want of Royal Charlie

So Charlie come and lead the way
For others here now hold the sway
But every dog maun hae it's day
So welcome Royal Charlie 👑⚔️🛡️
