Hee, this is hilarious. Not that I am a huge fan of George I and his treatment of his wife, but it's so over the top that no one could take it seriously. Hmm, interesting to see "sensual" used in a negative sense. Also, I wonder if he was a Jacobite since he is so against George I?

Too late for that. He's writing in the G4 era, by which time no one takes the Jacobites seriously anymore, and Hannover bashing is more likely to come from Whigs, see my comment below.

Ah yes, I realized that while reading your comment! I hadn't realized he was writing so much later...
