| | info: GEORGE I OF GREAT BRITAIN |
 | | Pursuant to the Act of Union 1707, George became King of Great Britain when Anne died on 1 August 1714. | | | George I, the first Hanoverian monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, was not a fluent speaker of the English language ; instead, he spoke his native German, and was for this ridiculed by his British subjects. | | | In Great Britain, George I used the official style 'George, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc.' In some cases (especially in treaties), the formula 'Duke of Brunswick-L?g, Arch treasurer and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire ' was added before the phrase 'etc.' |
