| | info: GEORGE I OF GREAT BRITAIN |
 | | 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.' | | | Pursuant to the Act of Union 1707, George became King of Great Britain when Anne died on 1 August 1714. |

| | Great Britain's Union Flag, 1606 - 1801 |
| | The current national flag of Great Britain did not come into existence until 1801, so throughout Georgia's existence as a colony, the official land flag would have been the 1707 flag. | | | For seagoing ships, however, the official banner was the Union flag (better known as the Union Jack), which combined England St. George's Cross with Scotland's St. Andrew's Cross (a white saltire on blue). | | | As of that date, all of present-day Georgia was included within the area claimed by the second Carolina charter (1665), so the Union flag would have been the official flag of what would one day become Georgia. |
