Prinny And His Pals
From the first biography of George IV in 1831 to the last in 2001, Mad King George's son has commonly been held up to ridicule, as a weak, selfish and incompetent spendthrift, barely tolerated by his ministers, loathed by most of his family and dependent on the emotional support of grasping mistresses. However, historian Tom Ambrose has uncovered new details on 'Prinny' that suggests that for all his faults, George IV just may have been the most humane and amusing of all British monarchs, notwithstanding his love of the high life.
