For our first set of interesting facts we will start with Georgian and finish in Regency.

Some people say that Georgian and Regency are the same.  The reason being that in 1811 the King then George III was declared insane.  It was therefore decided that his son, the Prince of Wales (Later to be George IV), would act on his behalf and would be known as the Prince Regent.  The Prince continued the duties until his father died in 1820.

Even though a Regency was not recognized we can go back to a earlier period 1788.  King George III was still ill, so the government tended to deal with the Prince, who became an important person to them.  Unfortunately the Princes father recovered so a regency was not created.

The Prince Regent became George IV and ruled from 1820-1830.

The period from 1788 until 1830 is sometimes known as the "extended Regency".
