Answer:

The first Hanoverian King of England was only 52nd in line to the throne, but, thanks to the Act of Settlement, George was the nearest Protestant eligible to take the crown. Born in Germany, George was not a fluent speaker of English and chose to speak in his native language, which made him deeply unpopular with his subjects. Although times had changed and most of Britain was now Protestant, George still had to fend off opposition from several Scottish Jacobite supporters, but any rebellion was swiftly crushed.

By the end of his reign this progressed to the point at which actual power was held by Sir Robert Walpole, Britain’s first Prime Minister. George died of a stroke during one of his many visits to his beloved Hanover and was buried in the Chapel of the Leine Schloss.
