The Hanoverians was the royal family that proceeded the English throne after the Stuarts. This period of history is full of ridiculous family dramas including but not limited to: George I Imprisoning his own wife, Cousin Charles encouraging Scottish highlanders to invade, George III secretly marrying a Catholic woman (huge no no at the time), George IV becoming so ill he thought he could grow a beef tree by burying steak in the garden, and William IV getting arrested while he was in the navy. It’s also covers a lot of very important events in history, the start of the modern British government, The American Declaration of Independence, and The French Revolution all changed the world as we know it in this era.

Not to mention very ridiculous powdered wigs.

This project aimed to engage children (10+) in historical events that shaped the UK and the royal family that has played a part in all of it. Focussing on one part of the family, the personalities of each king, who they knew, who they liked, who hey hated, and the world they lived in.
