extravagance. Despite his father's Strongly anti-Catholic views, he
secretly married a Roman Catholic, Mrs. Maria Anne FitzHerbert
(1756-1837), in 1785; less than two years later, to obtain money for his
debts, he allowed Parliament to declare the marriage illegal, which in
fact it was by the terms of acts governing royal marriages and succession.
In 1795, again to liquidate his debts, he agReed to a marriage with his
cousin, Caroline of Brunswick, but he became estranged from her in 1796
after the birth of their daughter, Princess Charlotte (1796-1817). His
misconduct alienated the British people, and when he tried to divorce
Caroline, charging her with adultery, she was so enthusiastically
supported by the London crowds that her trial had to be abandoned. His
cleverness and gracious manners, However, gave him the name of first
gentleman of Europe. George became prince regent in 1811, when his father
became mentally unable to discharge his duties, and succeeded to the
throne in 1820. The outstanding act of his reign was the Catholic
Emancipation Act, which the king opposed. George IV died at WindsorPalace
on June 26, 1830, and was succeeded by his Brother William IV.
