Vem daterade Georg IV av Storbritannien?

Georg IV av Storbritannien (engelska: George IV), George Augustus Frederick, på svenska Georg August Fredrik , född 12 augusti 1762 på St James's Palace, London, död 26 juni 1830 på Windsor Castle, Berkshire, var prinsregent 1811–1820 och kung av Förenade kungariket Storbritannien och Irland och Kungariket Hannover 1820–1830.

Han var Georg III:s och drottning Charlottes äldste son och styrde som prinsregent under faderns sjukdom.

Georgs nioårsperiod som prinsregent, från 1811 till 1820, präglades av segern i Napoleonkrigen i Europa. Som kung var Georg envis och blandade sig ofta i politiken, särskilt i frågan om katolikernas emancipation, men inte lika mycket som fadern. Under större delen av Georgs tid som prinsregent och kung var Lord Liverpool premiärminister.

Georg ihågkoms i synnerhet för sin extravaganta livsstil. I Brighton byggde han det överdådiga Royal Pavilion och i London residerade han länge på Carlton House, som han ständigt byggde ut och förskönade.

Han gifte sig med en änka, skådespelerskan Maria Anne Fitzherbert, i december 1785, något som dock inte godkändes enligt lag då hon var katolik. Han gifte sig därefter 1795 med sin kusin Caroline av Braunschweig (engelska: Caroline of Brunswick), (1768–1821). Paret kände ömsesidig fysisk avsmak för varandra och levde separerade, med några dagars undantag. De fick dock dottern Charlotte Augusta 1796.

Dottern dog dess värre i barnsäng 1817 efter sitt giftermål med prins Leopold av Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, och Georg IV stod utan arvinge.

Drottning Caroline utestängdes från kröningen 1821 i Westminster Abbey, något som sågs som en nationell skandal, och hon dog några veckor därefter.

Georg IV dog, efter flera år av dålig hälsa, 1830 och efterträddes av sin yngre bror William IV av Storbritannien.

Olga Alexandrovna Zherebtsova (née Zubova; Russian: Ольга Александровна Жеребцова; 1766–1849), also known as Madame Gerebtzoff, was a Russian aristocrat and socialite, known foremost for her political involvement and love life. She was the sister of the celebrated Zubov brothers, Prince Platon and Counts Nikolay and Valerian.

After her brothers' fall from grace following Catherine II's death, they conspired with Count Pahlen to assassinate her successor Paul whom they viewed as the author of their misfortunes. The conspirators met and discussed their plans at Zherebtsova's house. Some maintain that she appropriated the funds the British government passed through her lover Charles Whitworth, 1st Earl Whitworth to the conspirators. "Once diplomatic relations with England were broken, Whitworth was ordered to leave the capital with all his staff".

Zherebtsova followed Lord Whitworth to England where she was shocked to learn about his prospective betrothal to the widow of John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset. It was rumored that Madame Gerebtzoff extorted from her rival some 10,000 pounds before turning her attention to the Prince Regent, whose mistress she is said to have become. She is even said to have given birth to a natural son, named George Nord, after his purported royal father.

In the declining years of her life, Madame Gerebtzoff returned to the Russian capital, where she again became immersed in court intrigues through her powerful son-in-law, Prince Aleksey Orlov. In the 1840s, she was the patron of Alexander Herzen, who would recall her character and opinions with admiration in his memoirs "My Past and Thoughts":

Like a tree in winter, she maintained the linear outline of her boughs after the leaves had fallen off and the scraggy bare branches had been pinched with cold, all the more clearly demonstrating her magnificent stature, her daring bulk, and the trunk, though white with frost, still stalking lordly and sulkily and braving every tempest and gust.

Elizabeth Conyngham, Marchioness Conyngham (née Denison; 29 March 1770 – 11 October 1861) was an English courtier and noblewoman. She is thought to be the last mistress of George IV of the United Kingdom.

Grace Dalrymple Elliott, född 1754, död 1823, var en skotsk kurtisan och memoarförfattare. Hon var känd för sina förhållanden till många av tidens berömda män och makthavare, främst den kunglige franske hertigen Filip av Orléans. Hon arresterades vid Robespierres regim under franska revolutionen och författade sina memoarer om sina upplevelser under franska revolutionen, Ma Vie Sous La Révolution, som publicerades postumt 1859.

Mary Robinson (née Darby; 27 November 1757 – 26 December 1800) was an English actress, poet, dramatist, novelist and celebrity figure. She lived in England, in the cities of Bristol and London; she also lived in France and Germany for a time. She enjoyed poetry from the age of seven and started working, first as a teacher and then as an actress, from the age of 14. She wrote many plays, poems and novels. She was a celebrity, gossiped about in newspapers, famous for her acting and writing. During her lifetime she was known as "the English Sappho". She earned her nickname "Perdita" for her role as Perdita (heroine of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale) in 1779, and was the first public mistress of King George IV while he was still Prince of Wales.
