Historical background
GERMANY - DUCHY OF BRUNSWICK AND LUNENBURG - GEORGE III OF GREAT BRITAIN
(25/10/1760-8/12/1807)
Georges III (4/06/1738-29/01-1820) is the grandson of Georges II. He succeeded his grandfather in 1760 and became King of England. Georges' family is originally from Brunswick, Germany. He is therefore also Duke of Brunswick, and, as such, elector of the Emperor. Georges kept Brunswick until 1807, when this region was detached to form the kingdom of Westphalia, which was given to Napoleon's last brother, Jérôme (1784-1860). George III will recover an enlarged Brunswick, after 1815, which will be erected into a kingdom under the name of Hanover.
