- 19th Century English School Portrait Miniature of Royal Sitter King George IVLocated in Braintree, GBAntique 19th century English school portrait miniature of Royal sitter king George IV ( 12 August 1762 – 26 June 1830) half-length, in red coat and wearing the Order of the Garter . Provenance: Descended property of Their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary, sold in one of the auctions in London, later bought from a private collector. King George IV (George Augustus Frederick) was the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as the ruler of Hanover. Born in mid-eighteenth century, he was the eldest son of King George III. At birth, George Augustus Frederick automatically became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay due to his position as the eldest son of the monarch. Five days later, he was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. Then on 18 September, he was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In his He led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace, and commissioned Jeffry Wyatville to rebuild Windsor Castle. George's charm and culture earned him the title "the first gentleman of England", but his dissolute way of life and poor relationships with his parents and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, earned him the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy. Despite presiding over the British Empire's emergence as a global hegemon, his rule was tarnished by scandal and financial extravagance. His ministers found his behaviour selfish, unreliable and irresponsible, and he was strongly influenced by favourites. Taxpayers were angry at his wasteful spending during the Napoleonic Wars. During most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Liverpool's government presided over Britain's ultimate victory over Napoleon and negotiated a peace settlement with the French. After Liverpool's retirement, George IV was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite opposing it. His only legitimate child, Princess Charlotte...Category
