Historical person
George I of Great Britain
1660–1727
George I was Elector of Hanover and became King of Great Britain and Ireland in 1714 under the Protestant succession established by Parliament. His accession displaced the senior Catholic Stuart line and founded the Hanoverian dynasty in Britain.
The reign faced Jacobite rebellion, financial crisis and continuing European war. George’s dependence on ministers and frequent attention to Hanover contributed to the development of cabinet government, though he remained an active dynastic and diplomatic ruler.
