King
#GeorgeIII is definitely one of my favourite British monarchs. Highly eccentric and lovable with it. Shame about the occasional "episodes", but we all have them fttt

There is no small irony that today marks both the passing of
#GeorgeIII and the birth of one of his chief antagonists –#ThomasPaine. Both died wretchedly, Paine, alone, impoverished and vilified, and George, blind, raving, deaf and all incapable of making any dying wishes known.pic.twitter.com/tXXY8Y1hrV

I can appreciate a love of maps, even from a tyrant like King George III. I use maps in my classroom everyday.
