The British Monarchs Collection - George II

The House of Hanover

When Britain's last Stuart monarch, Queen Anne died in 1714, the crown of England passed by the 1701 Act of Settlement to the Stuart dynasty's German Protestant cousins, the House of Hanover, or Brunswick-Luneberg in the person of King George I, who was 52nd in line to the throne at that time. The Act effectively excluded the hereditary Stuart heir, James II's Catholic son, James Francis Edward Stuart, hereafter referred to as the 'Old Pretender.

King George II (1683-1760) is known for leading Britain to victory in the Jacobite rebellion, establishing British interests in India, and fighting in the Battle of Dettingen. He was also known for his love of the military and his elaborate wigs.
