The House of Hanover

The House of Hanover,  refers to the succesion line of:

• George I
• George II
• George III
• George IV

In the video, we only see the succesion to the throne of George I and George II.

The King George I came to the throne thanks that he was a protestant. He was the number 51 (approx.) and all the others 50 before him were catholic, the British Empire didn't wanted a catholic king.

George I was from Germany originally, and he actually never learned how to speak english, he just knew a few words. Obviously a few people were against his crowning (more specifically the Tories).

The Tories thought that the decision of making someone king just because he was a protestant wasn't a good idea, they though that a catholic person could do a work equally right. The Whig party on the other hand, really wanted to be ruled by a protestant, so you can see the conflict here.

Another problem was the relationship between George I - George II, they hated each other actually. They hated each other due that George I accused his wife (Princess Sophie Dorothea) of adultery and he banned her from seeing her kids, obviously George II (son of Princess Sophie)never forgave his father for separating him from his mother.
