The First Georgians: The German Kings Who Made Britain (2014)

EndedDocumentary showHistory

The First Georgians: The German Kings Who Made Britain will present the revealing and surprising story of Britain in the reigns of George I and George II (1714-60) – the age of the ‘German Georges'. In 1714, Britain imported a new German royal family from Hanover, headed by Georg Ludwig (aka George I) - an uncharismatic, middle-aged man with a limited grasp of English. Lucy Worsley will reveal how this unlikely new dynasty secured the throne – and how they kept it. An intimate and close-up portrait of these German kings of Britain, the series will follow George I, his son George II, and their feuding family as they slowly established themselves in their adopted kingdom - despite ongoing threats from invading Jacobites and a lukewarm initial response from the British public.
