When was Regency Britain?
Regency Britain is a short time period within the Georgian period. Georgian Britain was the period from 1714 until 1837, which covers the rule of the four King Georges, and also that of King William IV. Regency Britain was a short period within those years, a decade which ran from 1811 until 1820. The name comes from the fact that Britain was ruled by a regent, Prince George. At this time, King George III was deemed unfit to rule due to an illness, and Prince George became the ruler. The period ended in 1820 because George III died, at which point his son became King George IV. Although this was a relatively short period in British history, it was also a period of great significance. It saw the end of the Napoleonic Wars with France. It was the period that saw the only assassination of a serving British prime minister. During these years, Charles Dickens was born, Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein were published, and the Royal Astronomical Society was founded.
