George III was also mentally ill throughout much of his reign. There is much
discussion still going on about whether his mental illness was a bipolar
disorder or porphyria. It seems the jury is swinging back towards a bipolar
disorder after some of the "evidence" used to support the porphyria theory had
been questioned.Whatever. It's all history now.Simon

[Mifnet π 72504] Re: [Mifnet π 72503] Re: Question Hi Bob,
I agree that Rick Atkinson is well worth reading. I'd also recommend Andrew
Robert's book "The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George
III."To add my own tidbit: in his time, George III was renowned as a champion
of liberty and constitutional government.Β Depends upon who one asks, I suppose.Β
All the best,Old Man Wardell
