George IV

George IV served as Prince Regent from 1811 to 1820 and then as King of the United Kingdom from 1820 to 1830. Known for his extravagant lifestyle, artistic patronage, and turbulent personal life, his reign was marked by significant cultural achievements, leading to the Regency era being recognized for its distinctive architecture, fashion, and literature. Politically, George IV's reign saw notable events such as the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act. However, his extravagant spending, numerous affairs, and contentious relationship with his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, often overshadowed his contributions, making him a controversial figure in British royal history.
