George III died blind, deaf and mad at Windsor Castle on January 29, 1820.
George was determined to recover the prerogative lost to the ministerial council by the first two Georges; in the first two decades of the reign, he methodically weakened the Whig party through bribery, coercion and patronage.
George was known as a family man, loyal to his wife and continually fretting for his ne'er-do-well children (he had nine sons and six daughters; two of the sons died in early childhood)...
His godparents were the King of Sweden (for whom Lord Baltimore stood proxy), the Duke of Saxe-Gotha (for whom the Duke of Chandos stood proxy) and the Queen of Prussia (for whom Lady Charlotte Edwin, a daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, stood proxy).
George III's reign was longer than the reigns of all three of his immediate predecessors (Queen Anne, KingGeorge I and KingGeorge II) combined.
