King of Great Britain and Ireland
About George II
In 1745, as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite army marched south toward Derby, I stood not in a palace but at the head of my troops near Finchley, reviewing raw militia under grey November skies, pen in hand drafting orders while weighing whether to recall Cumberland from Flanders. That decision, and the brutal aftermath at Culloden, defined my reign: a monarch who personally commanded wartime councils, reformed the Royal Artillery into a professional corps, and insisted on reading every dispatch from Minorca or Dettingen before breakfast. My German upbringing shaped a bureaucratic rigor unfamiliar to earlier Stuarts, I mandated standardized troop returns, overhauled naval supply contracts, and kept a private ledger tracking parliamentary grants versus battlefield expenditures. Unlike my grandfather, I never saw monarchy as divine theatre; it was administration under fire, diplomacy conducted in French and English with equal fluency, and sovereignty tested less by ceremony than by how quickly a regiment could cross the Tweed when the Highlands rose.
