1821 CORONATION OF KING GEORGE IV
George IV (George Augustus Frederick; 12 August 1762  26 June 1830) was King of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and King of Hanover following the death of his
father, King George III, on 29 January 1820, until his own death ten years later. From 1811 until
his accession, he served as Prince Regent during his father's final mental illness.
George IV led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era. He
was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned John Nash to build the
Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace, and Sir Jeffry Wyattville to rebuild
Windsor Castle.
His charm and culture earned him the title "the first gentleman of England", but his dissolute way
of life and poor relationships with his parents and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, earned him
the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy. He forbade Caroline to
attend his coronation and asked the government to introduce the unpopular Pains and Penalties
Bill in a desperate, unsuccessful attempt to divorce her.
