In 1788, King George III began speaking without pause, talking to
trees, and frightening his court.
He is often remembered as the “Mad King” who lost America, but
his life was far more complex and tragic.
This episode looks at the devoted farmer-king, his mysterious
illness, and what doctors now believe was really wrong with
him.
George III beyond the mad king stereotype
Early life and becoming a British not German king
Farmer George habits and love of family and science
Seven Years War victory and heavy debts for Britain
Missteps leading to American Revolution and independence
His limited power as a constitutional monarch
Onset of illness in 1788 and disturbing behaviour
Brutal treatments by Francis Willis and their harm
French Revolution pressure and long wars with Napoleon
Later decline, Regency, and death at Windsor Castle
