On This Day In History . 20 October 1714 . George I coronation . ◼ The new king could not speak English – & of course very few of his new courtiers could manage any German. So it was that throughout his reign George & his English subjects had to struggle with French or Latin to communicate with one another. . ◼ George was crowned by Archbishop Tenison at Westminster Abbey. A new king, & a new dynasty (House of Hanover) was in place. The power of Westminster increased, now that a non-English-speaking king had arrived who was completely ignorant of what was what or who was who in his own kingdom, the power of his advisers was visibly increasing day by day. . ◼ This coronation signalled a very different kind of monarchy, with power draining away from court & establishing itself even more firmly than ever before in parliament & its chief ministers. George could not have understood much of what was going on around him at this coronation. . ◼ The ceremonies had to be explained to him in broken French or stuttering Latin by his bishops & ministers. It was jokingly said that ‘much bad language’ passed between them. . ◼ George was crowned alone. The fact that his ex-wife, Sophia Dorothea, was still imprisoned in Ahlden Castle in Germany for alleged unfaithfulness was a cause for much scandal, especially as he had come to England accompanied by several of his mistresses. His two principal mistresses were Ermengarda Melusina von Schulenburg – extremely tall & thin – who was quickly nicknamed ‘The Maypole’ by the gossiping English court; & Sophia von Kilmansegg – prodigiously large & fat – who became known as ‘The Elephant’. . ◼ Whatever George thought of his coronation, he certainly enjoyed the banquet afterwards, in Westminster Hall. Silently & alone he sat for more than two hours steadily stuffing himself, while 17 bishops & 150 peers, grouped in order of precedence, solemnly watched him. The coronation passed off without incident. He would reign as king of Great Britain until his death in 1727 . . . #onthisdayinhistory #Thisdayinhistory #TheYear1714 #D20Oct #GeorgeI #Coronation #KingGeorgeI #HouseofHanover #History #Westminster #WestminsterAbbey #london #Royal (at Westminster Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlO7psjW1B/?igshid=1ny21l14z0e0o

The only problem is- nobody seems to be writing anything new for them to roleplay. So after Matty has a very sexy, very AUTOSEXUAL dream one night, they decide to take matters into their own hands. How far can they can push the boundaries of art and reality without their brains, and their bits, imploding in the process?

George I . (b. 28 May 1660 – d. 11 June 1727) . George I was King of Great Britain & Ireland from 1 August 1714 & ruler of the Duchy & Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) in the Holy Roman Empire from 23 January 1698 until his death in 1727. He was the first British monarch of the House of Hanover. . Born in Hanover to its Elector Ernest Augustus & Electress Sophia (Sophia was the granddaughter of King James I of England through her mother, Elizabeth of Bohemia), George inherited the titles & lands of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg from his father & uncles. A succession of European wars expanded his German domains during his lifetime; he was ratified as prince-elector of Hanover in 1708. After the deaths in 1714 of his mother & his second cousin Anne, Queen of Great Britain (r. 1702–1714), George ascended the British throne as Anne’s closest living Protestant relative under the Act of Settlement 1701. Jacobites attempted, but failed, to depose George & replace him with James Francis Edward Stuart, Anne’s Catholic half-brother. . . . #GeorgeI #KingGeorge #KingGeorgeI #Hanoverian #Hanover #HouseofHanover #theking #royalfamily #royal #royalty #windsorcastle #buckinghampalace #britishroyalfamily #royals #EnglishHistory #Britishhistory #German #britishroyalty #britishroyals #crown #britishmonarchy #windsor #RoyalHistory #HistoryFacts #British #London #Historic (at Hanover, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAcuGFjAhP1/?igshid=t67m6t3fn891

On This Day In Royal History . 18 September 1714 . King George I arrives in Great Britain. . George arrived in England aged 54 speaking only a few words of English, with 18 cooks & two mistresses one very fat & the other thin & tall who became nicknamed ‘Elephant and Castle’ after an area in London. . In Hanover he was absolute ruler but in England found that he had to work with Parliament & his Whig ministers particularly Lord Townshend who was dismissed, Earl Stanhope & Robert Walpole. The king grew frustrated in his attempts to control Parliament & more & more dependent upon his advisers as scandal surrounded him; his supporters turned against him, demanding freedom of action as the price of reconciliation. . George rarely attended meetings with his ministers, & particularly Walpole became powerful & effectively Britain’s first Prime Minister. . Jacobite rebellions in Scotland in 1715 led by Lord Mar, & in 1719 supported by Spanish troops intending to place James Edward Stuart (‘The old Pretender’) on throne found little support & were quickly defeated. The ‘South Sea Bubble’ in which shares in companies were purchased in rash financial speculation before a stock market crash in 1720 left many investors ruined, & George was implicated in the scandal. Walpole’s management of the crisis by rescheduling debts & paying compensation using Government money helped return financial stability. George quarrelled with his son George (a trait inherited by successive Hanoverian kings) & became increasingly unpopular. . He spent more & more time in Hanover where he died of a stroke in 1727. . . . #royalfamily #royal #royalty #windsorcastle #GeorgeI #KingGeorgeI #HouseofHanover #buckinghampalace #britishroyalfamily #royals #hermajesty #britishroyalty #britishroyals #crown #britishmonarchy #godsavethequeen #windsor #RoyalHistory #HistoryFacts #British #London #Historic #thequeen #QueenElizabeth #Westminster #Instahistory . .

More than three centuries later, the disappearance of Philip Christoph von Königsmarck remains one of Europe's most enduring royal mysteries.
