This week saw St George’s Day and to celebrate, here’s a quick round up of all the British kings called George…

George I (1714-1727)
German. Born in Germany. Only spoke German. Didn’t like England and spent most of his time in Germany. Buried in Germany.

George II (1727-1760)
(George I’s son). The last king to lead his men into battle. Died on the toilet, like that other king, Elvis.

George III (1760-1820)
(George II’ s grandson). The longest reigning British king (sixty years) although did not reign for as long as his granddaughter Victoria (63 years) or her own great great granddaughter Elizabeth II, although he would not have not have known that as he was a) mad and b) dead. Sometimes just called “King George” so as not to confuse Americans.

George IV (1820-1830)
(George III’s son). Regent first. Fat, lazy and lecherous rather like Henry VIII, Edward VII or Boris I.

George V (1910-1936)
(George III’s granddaughter’s grandson). Technically murdered as two of his doctors deliberately gave him an overdose of morphine on his deathbed. Last words were “bugger Bognor”. Ironically, it was still illegal to bugger Bognor at this time.


George VI (1936-1952)
(George V’s son). Famous stammerer portrayed in The King’s Speech. Had he reigned for as long as his daughter, he would still have been king in the year 2000.

George VII (2058 -2109)
(George VI’s great great grandson). Married Prince Alfie in 2037.
