George III (George William Frederick) (June 4, 1738 - January 29, 1820) was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from October 25, 1760 until January 1, 1801. He also ruled the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death.
During George III's reign, his home country lost many of its colonies to North America (they became the United States), and Britain and Ireland joined to form the then-new United Kingdom.
Because of "his plain, homely, thrifty manners and tastes", George III has been nicknamed Farmer George.
