The House of HanoverRedman, 1968 - 471 strani "On a dark wet day, in 1714, the scion of a small German noble house arrived in England. For the court and people of England, this was no casual visitor. The gross figure which set foot at Greenwich and was bumped along to London was George Louis of Hanover, the new King of England. His arrival on the throne was the result of complicated arrangements and scheming and his coronation began a dynasty which would include a dazzling history of accomplishments and an outrageous array of lunatics and incompetents. The reign of the House of Hanover which began in the mist at Greenwich would end in the glaze of Victoria's glory. The hatred for the first Hanoverian king would become the adoration of the Empire for the Queen on whose flag the sun never set"--(Front flyleaf of paper cover).
