George III
King George III was the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820, known for his long reign during which the American Revolutionary War took place. Often portrayed as a tyrant in American history, recent historical assessments suggest he was more complex, balancing his royal duties with a genuine interest in agriculture and the arts. Despite experiencing significant personal challenges, including mental health issues later in life, George III was committed to his family and his role as king, navigating the turbulent political landscape of his time with a focus on maintaining the British Empire.
Born on Jun 04, 1738 (287 years old)
