King George III was known for being the king of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820. He is primarily known for his role during the American Revolution, as he was the reigning monarch during the time of the American colonies declaring independence from Britain. He opposed American independence and its leaders, resulting in the Revolutionary War. King George III also faced significant mental health issues, particularly a condition known as porphyria, which affected his ability to rule effectively during the latter part of his reign.
