"They had 15 children and George was never unfaithfully." Unfaithful! Dude couldn't get off her!!

I am a long time student of British history. Majored in European History at university. Your excellent video settled many misconceptions about George III. Yours is a very fine bit of history, not just a biography.

George the Third was a constitutional monarch, the way the revolution is portrayed in the U.S like they were fighting a tyrannical king, they were fighting a democracy with a parliament. One that freed the slaves 1833, it would be thirty two years before the same was done in the US.

As an American, I appreciate both sides of the story. Please keep up the good work.

I did not know that king George was against slavery! Good for him!

As a composer, hat off to King George III for his patronage to George Frederick Handel, the music world owes him a debt of gratitude. Grazie 🙏 SF

Being born a U.S.A. citizen descendant of a USAF grandfather who had married my Liverpool, England born grandmother, I have had a lifelong interest and appreciation for the historical (and current) relationship of these two countries.
In respect to the reputation of King George III, when I had learned of the decision by Queen Elizabeth II to declassify a significant collection of documents, contemporary to the era, that were about or personally authored/authorized by King George III, and subsequently locked away during and just after the end of his reign; I felt that the declassification of such significant documents to be a fantastic step towards reevaluating King George III's reputation and reign. I would speculate that, within these documents, substantial information has or will alter our current perspective of such an important historical figure and monarch.

Great synopsis of a significant reign. So much was happening & George III did his best during all that turbulence.

I listen to these videos during my morning walk - you are the reason I pay for YouTube premium! An uninterrupted masterpiece! Much love from New Orleans

I really like learning about British history. I majored in history with a concentration in European History in university. This documentary enhanced my love of history; more so than what the History Channel could ever do. An interesting biography of George III.

The Americans also received support from the Poles-Lithuanians. Initially made a colonel of the Continental Army then later a general, Tadeusz Kosciuszko was a Polish nobleman who contributed to a key military victory at Saratoga, as well as sharing his engineering skills in the construction of parts of West Point. Today, there a very nice arch bridge named after him that spans the Mohawk River in Saratoga county, New York.

As with so many wars, the American Revolutionary War was a sort of proxy war involving outside aid by long-standing feuding nations, here the Brits against the French, Spanish, and to a certain extent even the Poles-Lithuanians. Both Americans and Brits also enlisted the aid of Native American tribes, who helped them engage in guerrilla warfare.

His last years sounded miserable. Horrible disease.

His son unfortunately ended up being a terrible king.

As an American, I cannot agree more. A merchant class had, by overshoot or by design, displaced the king from his subjects and as a result, we are instead ruled by a bank and militant corporation rather than a state and church.

[COBO]

Tyrant. Why label him a tyrant 😂 he wasn’t a tyrant 😂 at least he didn’t have two of his wife’s executed 😂

[ironmage]

A great man of his time, God save the King!

As an American I always saw King George as an "evil" King, and a harsh ruler. He was none of those things. I now want to learn more about him. Clearly our public education system is lacking. Thank you.

[krististigall]

Amazing that he was never unfaithful to his queen. We can probably count on one hand the number of monarchs in European history who did the same. That should have been considered the divine right of kings.

[thornydig]

Arrogant and delusional... The English way ✌️

[Dragonth]

If he hadn't died early, then Prince Harry would've been definately black :)

Speaking as an American regarding the LAST King of America… Those in the British Government, at the time of the American Revolution, acted in a manner in the King’s name which caused him to be viewed as a Tyrant. So from the American perspective he was a Tyrant and the sole source for the reason America sought to be independent.
