The life of the disgraced Queen Caroline, discarded wife of George IV of England.

Fine in a Fine Dust Jacket. Third Printing. Illustrated with color. Background Information:
Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (Caroline Amelia Elizabeth; 17 May 1768 - 7 August 1821) was Queen of the United Kingdom and Hanover as the wife of King George IV from 29 January 1820 until her death in 1821.
In January 1820, George became King of the United Kingdom and Hanover, and Caroline nominally became queen. George insisted on a divorce from Caroline, which she refused. A legal divorce was possible but difficult to obtain.
Caroline returned to Britain to assert her position as queen. She was wildly popular with the British people, who sympathized with her and despised the new king for his immoral behaviour.
On the basis of the loose evidence collected against her, George attempted to divorce Caroline by introducing the Pains and Penalties Bill 1820 to Parliament, but he and the bill were so unpopular, and Caroline so popular with the masses, that it was withdrawn by the Liverpool ministry.
The King barred Caroline from his coronation in July 1821. She fell ill in London and died three weeks later. Her funeral procession passed through London on its way to her native Braunschweig, where she was buried.
