Pages
George was the last British monarch born outside Great Britain and was born and brought up in Northern Germany. He was also the last British monarch to lead an army in battle - in 1743 at the battle of Dettingen. In 1745, supporters of the Catholic claimant to the British throne, James Francis Edward Stuart ("The Old Pretender"), led by James's son Charles Edward Stuart ("The Young Pretender" or "Bonnie Prince Charlie") attempted and failed to depose George in the last of the Jacobite rebellions.. His son Frederick died unexpectedly in 1751, leaving George's grandson to become George III.
