We touched on England's King George IV in our episode about Queen Victoria's Trashy Hanoverian Uncles (episode 17), but there's so much more to the story of his misspent youth and his cataclysmic marriage to Princess Caroline of Brunswick. To help out, we asked our friend Sam from the podcast I'm Horrified!, who recently delivered this banger of a story over there. The daughter of King George III's eldest sister, Caroline was raised in the German duchy of Braunschweig, or Brunswick in English. Her family situation was fraught; while her parents remained married throughout their lives, her father's undisguised and longstanding mistress made for difficult family dynamics, where a kind interaction with one parent led to rebuke and allegations of disloyalty from the other. Upon meeting her soon-to-be new husband, Crown Prince George of England, the antipathy was mutual. Not only was George already illegally married, he also openly brought his mistress (to be clear, these are two separate women) to their introductory dinner. That would set the stage for the rest of Caroline's life. They managed to have one child, Princess Charlotte, but quickly agreed to live separate lives at separate residences due to their mutual disdain. George seems to have spent a good amount of time trying to dirty his estranged wife's reputation, but she was quite popular with the public, especially balanced against his poor reputation as a drunkard and wastrel. Propaganda campaigns were waged against one another in the press and in Parliament, and as King George III's health deteriorated and Crown Prince George's power grew, Caroline left the country. Her travels across Europe and the Holy Lands with a handsome Italian servant set tongues wagging everywhere, but when George III died in January 1820, Caroline realized that she had to return to England if she had any hope of blunting her husband's power - he was king now, and she was queen - and asserting any of her own. But it didn't go that way; George's mission with his new throne was to exclude his wife from everything and try to formally strip of her titles. Because of his own rampant infidelity, divorce was out of the question, but perhaps poisoning wasn't? Thanks so much to Sam for sharing this banger of a story.

The Dubliner, Thomas Moore, born in 1779 was a poet, composer, musician, and writer. He is most famous for the 10 volume work "Irish Melodies" published between 1807 and 1834 with Sir John Stevenson, which consists of 130 of his poems set to music, much of it based on old Irish airs. "The Last Rose of Summer" and "The Minstrel Boy" are two of the most well known. Many of these "Melodies" are included in this collection. He is perhaps most infamous for having burned, at the request of the Byron family, the manuscript of Byron's memoirs which Bryon had left to him for publication after his death. During his lifetime, his reputation as a poet placed him alongside Byron and Scott and Shelly. His narrative poem Lalla Rookh for example was possibly the most translated poem of the time and earned him £3000, what was till then the highest price paid by an English publisher for a poem. This collection contains a version of the poem but without the linking or "framing" prose sections. A lovely edition of the full poem can be found here https://archive.org/details/lallrookhanorien00mooruoft with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. Moore was an Irish Nationalist and turned down the post of "Irish Poet Laureate" as he felt it would require him to tone down his outspoken Irish national politics. Despite this, he counted the Regent - later King George IV as one of his patrons. Moore died on February 25, 1852 and though much of his work is now neglected, his enduring legacy is that his "Melodies" which were translated into practically every European language popularized Irish Music throughout the world.Part IIntroduction Irish Melodies - Part 1 Irish Melodies - Part 2 Irish Melodies - Part 3 Part IIIrish Melodies - Part 4 National Airs Sacred Songs Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 1 Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 2 Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 3 Part IIIPoems Relating to America Lalla Rookh: The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan Lalla Rookh: Paradise and the Peri Lalla Rookh: The Fire-Worshipers Part IVLalla Rookh: The Light of the Harem The Loves of the Angels Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 1 Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 2: The Fudge Family in Paris Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 3: Fables for the Holy Alliance Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 4 Part VSatirical And Humorous Poems - Part 5 Miscellaneous Poems Odes of Anacreon Epigram - Around the Tomb, O Bard Divine Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

London Socialite and friend of King George IV, the Duke of Strathnarn enjoys his London life and is reluctant and resentful when he inherits from his hated father the title and responsibilities of... Uitgegeven door SAGA Egmont Spreker: George Weightman
This is where we start to get to know the future King George IV, in the time when he became Prince Regent. We also meet his friend ‘Beau' Brummel and talk about the disastrous way that friendship ended. Disastrous, that is, for poor old Beau. This was during the premiership of Spencer Perceval. It was while he was in office that the Peninsular War really started to get some momentum, behind Arthur Wellesley, by now Viscount Wellington (he would become Duke later). Even so, Britain's war effort against France was still mostly economic , through its blockade of French ports. That blockade, however, hurt Britain too, as well as neutral nations whose ships were being intercepted. Among those neutral nations, the United States were particularly resentful of British actions, and relations were swiftly deteriorating to a point where war seemed imminent. Indeed, the blockade became such a double-edged sword that Perceval was on his way to the Commons to debate whether it was time to slacken off a bit, when a waiting assailant turned him into a unique figure among British Prime Ministers: the only one to have been murdered. Which is practically the only thing people remember about him, if they remember anything at all.

Ngāpuhi leader and warrior, Hongi Hika (c. 1772 – 1828) was an important figure in Māori history. Hongi Hika successfully negotiated trade and missionary activities in the early part of the 19th century, living in Sydney from 1814 to 1819. In 1820 he visited England where he was feted by society and introduced to King George IV. His main aim however was acquire muskets; the weapons would be used in the Musket Wars in which Hongi was a successful military campaigner. The Chau Chak Wing Museum houses one of three busts of Hongi, one of which was a self-portrait carved by the warrior. In this episode of Object Matters Dr Craig Barker is joined by Brent Kerehona, an educator, film marker, Māori-Australian scholar, Director of Purakau Productions and a descendant of Hongi Hika. Brent has been engaged in years of research on Hongi which will culminate in a film.

In 1820, England talked about one thing and one thing only: The spectacular breakdown of the marriage between King George IV and his wife Caroline of Brunswick. The royal couple had never been happy, but their misery and hatred only hit its apex when George took his own wife to court and demanded a divorce. The reason? According to George, Caroline was a sexual pervert and an unfit queen. The resulting trial became the sex scandal of the century. And then, when the verdict was read, the nation's jaws collectively dropped. This podcast is brought to you by Factinate.com.

The Fair Botanists is a bewitching and immersive story for fans of Jessie Burton, Sarah Perry and The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock. Could one rare plant hold the key to a thousand riches? It's the summer of 1822 and Edinburgh is abuzz with rumours of King George IV's impending visit. In botanical circles, however, a different kind of excitement has gripped the city. In the newly-installed Botanic Garden, the Agave Americana plant looks set to flower - an event that only occurs once every few decades. When newly widowed Elizabeth arrives in Edinburgh to live with her late husband's aunt Clementina, she's determined to put her unhappy past in London behind her. As she settles into her new home, she becomes fascinated by the beautiful Botanic Garden which borders the grand house and offers her services as an artist to record the rare plant's impending bloom. In this pursuit, she meets Belle Brodie, a vivacious young woman with a passion for botany and the lucrative, dark art of perfume creation. Belle is determined to keep both her real identity and the reason for her interest in the garden secret from her new friend. But as Elizabeth and Belle are about to discover, secrets don't last long in this Enlightenment city.... And when they are revealed, they can carry the greatest of consequences.

Everyone Dies In Sunderland: A podcast about growing up terrified in the eighties and nineties
In November 1995 the sitcom Caroline in the City – Lea Thompson played a woman called Caroline who lived in a city – tried to boost its profile with crossover episodes with the (much popular) Friends and Frasier.In a completely unrelated note, this episode sees us team up with Lindsay and Madison from Ye Olde Crime podcast! They tell us all about the death of Joe the Quilter in Northumberland in 1826, the murder of an elderly quilt maker in rural Northumberland which ends up involving Prime Minister Robert Peel and King George IV. In the aftermath. Not the murder itself. The story isn't that good. A notorious crime which took place 4000 miles from them and ten minutes from us WHERE CLAIRE'S PARENTS MET AND WHERE OUR MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL SIBLING BEX FROM THE GETTING EMOTIONAL PODCAST WAS BORN AND GREW UP but that they found first. Because the show is supposed to be about growing up terrified in the eighties and nineties we also take a trip back to 1995 to sort of remember OJ, the Oklahoma City bombing and the death of Leah Betts. Along the way there's Tank rampages! Keeping a chainsaw in the car! The odd (onscreen) sexual fetishes of Lea Thompson! Teddy Roosevelt appreciation! The inexplicably stateside popularity of Keeping Up Appearances! Terrible sexual education! An excellent football joke from 1995 which dies a death! In the words of Claire: “We're not a real true crime podcast, are we?”Claire eats roadkill. Gareth eats a sheep's head. John eats at Chillis. PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING AM I RIGHT? I'M HERE ALL WEEK!

En rolig grej som David inte kom ihåg att berätta: 1999 tog ägarna all whisky ur alla fat och hällde över på nya fat. Normalt görs sådana så kallad re-racking på läckande fat eller för när man gör en planerad slutlagring, men här ansåg ägarna alltså att faten whiskyn låg på var för trötta och för dåliga. Hela 27000 fat tömdes för att fyllas på nya fat….! https://www.jurawhisky.com/ https://scotchwhisky.com/whiskypedia/1869/jura/ En bra Jura då?

The Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, is a symphony in four movements composed by Ludwig van Beethoven between 1811 and 1812 while improving his health in the Bohemian spa town of Teplice. The work is dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries. At its première, Beethoven was noted as remarking that it was one of his best works. The second movement, Allegretto, was the most popular movement and had to be encored. The instant popularity of the Allegretto resulted in its frequent performance separate from the complete symphony. Wellington's Victory, or, the Battle of Vitoria, Op. 91, is a minor 15-minute-long orchestral work composed by Ludwig van Beethoven to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory over Joseph Bonaparte at the Battle of Vitoria in Spain on 21 June 1813. It is known sometimes as "The Battle Symphony" or "The Battle of Vitoria", and was dedicated to the Prince Regent, later King George IV. Composition stretched from August to the first week of October 1813, and the piece proved to be a substantial moneymaker for Beethoven.

Several questions will help us get to know the four King Georges (Kings George?) who ruled Britain from 1714 to 1830.Question 1: How did these guys come to rule England?Answer: Parliament insisted on a Protestant heir, and after the death of Queen Anne it turned out George of Hanover got the job.Question 2: What was George I like as a King of England?Answer: Not good! He preferred Hanover and spoke little English, making him unpopular. His scandalous treatment of his wife didn't help his reputation in England. He had a terrible relationship with his son and heir.Question 3: So was George II any better?Answer: Not really! He had a terrible relationship with his father AND with his son. His son died before he did, so George II left the crown to his grandson.Question 4: What’s the real deal with George III? Answer: Well, he'll never be a hero to Americans, but he was the best of the Georges. Still, many were relieved when he went completely mad and retired from public life.Question 5: Prince Regent? What’s that? Who is the King?Answer: Prince George (yes, another one) ruled in behalf of his father, George III, as Prince Regent. He lived a scandalous life and was obese and sick by the time he finally became King George IV. His only child preceded him in death, so the crown passed to his brother William.And that's the end of the Georgians!

Master Distiller from The Glenlivet, Alan Winchester, joins Pedro in the Whiskey Society at Seven Grand in Downtown Los Angeles (and yes, it's as good as their whisky!)--What we drank:The Glenlivet 12The Glenlivet NaduraThe Glenlivet 14The Glenlivet 15The Glenlivet 18The Glenlivet Enigma--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--From The Glenlivet website:1822: The BeginningThe remote and isolated Livet valley made it ideal for illicit distillation. This is where our founder George Smith learned his craft. Hidden away from the Customs Officers and soldiers amongst the hills and abundant springs, George had time to distil slowly making a whisky that would soon become world renowned. In August 1822, King George IV arrived in Scotland for a state visit and asked to try a drop of the infamous Glenlivet whisky. An illegal dram it was, but even that didn't stop the King.1824: The smuggler of smugglersTwo years later and after a change in legislation, George saw his window of opportunity and rode to Elgin to get his licence to become the first legal distiller in the parish of Glenlivet. This didn't go down well with the illicit distillers around him and he was told he would burn along with his distillery. In a bid to protect himself from these sinister smugglers, he carried a pair of flintlock pistols with him at all times, making it clear he wasn't afraid to use them. His courage set the foundation for our whisky today. 1839: The Whisky BusinessBy the late ‘30's, The Glenlivet distillery was producing more than 200 gallons a week. This expansion meant our founder would soon need more employees. A few years later, Andrew Ushers & Sons of Edinburgh joined as sales agents, helping spread the word of the whisky.1852: The Rare Old GlenlivetOur reputation spread beyond the green hills of Scotland to the Smoky skies of London. When Charles Dickens wrote to his friend urging him to try the "rare old Glenlivet", he was recommending a single malt that went beyond his great expectations.1871: The Story ContinuesWith the passing of George Smith on November 27, the job of continuing his life's work fell to his youngest son, John Gordon Smith. He had been away training for a career in law but on the death of his father, he returned to pick up the reins of the business.1884: The IndentureWith other competitors desperate to take the name ‘Glenlivet' for themselves to capitalise of our notoriety, John found the solution in a small but powerful three-letter word. He fought hard for the rights and in 1884 we became the one and only The Glenlivet.1921: The CaptainWhen John's second great-nephew Captain Bill Smith Grant took over the distillery in 1921, he was met by two challenges: The Great Depression and Prohibition in the USA. However, as a decorated war hero from World War One, Captain Bill rose to meet these challenges head on. Even though production dropped during these tough years, the distillery emerged in a great position in the US market after the repeal of Prohibition.1933: The Train Pulls InAs Prohibition came to an end, Americans came forward; thirstier than ever for fine Single Malts. Thanks to Captain Bill's perseverance through the depression, we were in the perfect place to serve them a dram. One of our first major customers was the Pullman Train Company, who began serving miniature bottles on their routes, helping to spread our fine whisky across the continent.1950: The Most Popular WhiskyThanks to trains, planes, and automobiles, the middle of the century saw The Glenlivet account for half of the Scottish malt whisky sold in the US. Thanks to new jet-setters of the 50's, word soon spread to all corners of the world.2010: The New CenturyThe second turn of the century saw another vast expansion of our distillery, this time by our current Master Distiller, Alan Winchester. Having spent 40 years honing his craft, Alan is just the man to ensure the spirit of our founder lives on.2015: The InnovatorAlmost 200 years since our distillery doors opened, we crafted something new to celebrate: The Glenlivet Founders Reserve. Created by Master Distiller Alan Winchester, this fine liquid captures the distinct, smooth, fruity taste that George Smith first envisioned in 1824, and went on to be amass highest sales volume of any new Scotch product launched in the last five years (IWSR, 2016).Today: The GlenlivetTo this day we continue George Smith's vision to break traditions, set new standards and move things forward; selecting exceptional unique casks, finishes and liquids and delivering unique serves and cocktails to open up the world of single malt to all. --Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
King George IV was a notorious glutton. His breakfast supposedly consisted of two pigeons, three steaks, a near full bottle of wine, and a glass of brandy. In time, he grew so fat he could no longer sleep laying down, or the weight of his own chest might asphyxiate him. The gout in his hands made it difficult to sign documents — he eventually had his attendants make a stamp of his signature to use instead. Still, he managed to father several illegitimate children while generally neglecting the business of being a king. King George was the type of person who apparently believed that he was exempt from the rules of health and humankind. That his body could and would endure unlimited abuse without consequence. Indeed, his last words, when years of bad habits and lethargy finally caught up with him at 3:30am in 1860, were:“Good God, what is this?” Then he realized what it was. “My boy,” he said as he grasped the hand of a page, “this is death.” It was almost as if he was surprised to find out that he was mortal...and that treating his body like a garbage can for four decades had only hastened his fate. While the Stoics practiced the art of memento mori—and knew that death was something that could randomly visit anyone, at any time—they still took pains to maintain their health. Marcus Aurelius’s doctor was Galen, one of the most famous physicians of antiquity, and presumably Marcus didn’t keep him around to shorten his life. No, he wanted to survive and be as healthy and strong as possible while he was alive. Seneca, for his part, flirted with vegetarianism, and his letters are filled with mentions of various cures he was seeking for his health. The sports metaphors in Epictetus and Marcus’s work also hint at the idea of active, strenuous lives. Health is wealth. Taking care of yourself is important. What good can you do in this world if you feel like shit all the time? Or if you lack the physical and moral strength—or in George’s case, even the basic mobility—to be of good to anyone? We are on this planet for a short amount of time. But if we practice bad habits, if we let our urges run wild, we will surely shorten that time. That’s not Stoic, that’s stupid.

We're now past the halfway point of this series and have returned to Scotland and Single Malts. Christopher Rhodovi from The Whiskey Room & I were able to sit down, taste and talk about #5 in the BTWOE* series** – The Glenlivet 12. #5 on the list is The Glenlivet 12, which was the first legal distillery under King George IV's new regulations – founded in 1824. With a storied history – including a legal case against many imitators – The Glenlivet prides itself on collecting many older ‘vintages' of their The Glenlivet 12 whisky, comparing it to their current production and ensuring it's as close to ‘the original' as possible. Chris pours a ‘heavy hand' and we both get off topic of the The Glenlivet 12, but at least stay on the subject of whisky. apologies if we went a big longer than usual… We encourage you to grab a glass, pour a dram, and join us. Cheers!
Despite being one of the longest-reigning British monarchs as well as wildly popular among his own people, King George III gets a bad rap as the “mad king who lost America.” In truth the story of George’s life is touching and sad. After dealing with not one but two world wars that occurred on his watch, as well as two world-shaking revolutions in America and France, George was ultimately felled by a mysterious illness that affected his body as well as his mind. Signs of his recurring malady appeared as early as 1765, but in 1810, the beginning of the second decade, the King was finally unable to discharge his royal duties. Supplanted by his son (the future King George IV) as regent, George’s illness ended an entire era of British history, the Georgian Era, and began another, the Regency. But this is more than a story of politics and power. It’s a story of a family, struggling to deal with the far-reaching effects of a difficult and ultimately tragic illness whose nature and origin is still debated more than 200 years later. Historian Sean Munger shines a light on the personal and family stories of King George and the British royals during the 1810s, including eyewitness accounts of the King’s condition and his often curious behavior. In this episode you’ll be thrust into the midst of several acrimonious royal family disputes, you’ll learn to fear the King’s doctors and their straitjackets, and you’ll find out why a blue-stained chamber pot is such a contentious historical artifact. At the end of it you may even have a bit of sympathy for old George and his long-suffering family. Far from being “the mad king,” George III emerges as a historical personality who must be judged on his own terms. For additional materials about this episode, visit the website!

We say goodbye to Tony Hancock for a bit and continue our British history lessons this time concentrating on the death of King George IV moving in to King William's reign. Afterwords it's Eaarthseaarch. The crew of the Challenger make a lunar discovery but do the lunar computers reaally want them? You'll have to listen and find out.
In this unit we examine the Royal Pavillion at Brighton, and its relationship to 19th century romanticism and exoticism. We begin with a biographical discussion of the Prince of Wales, afterwards Prince Regent and eventually King George IV, to whose specifications the Pavillion was built. With the help of video and still images we take a tour of the Pavillion, examining the exterior then a series of interior rooms as a visitor in the 1820s may have experienced them. Besides this we look at contemporary aesthetic, cultural and political reactions to the building, its contents and its social millieu.
