George III 1818 Signature
Long forgotten in his "twilight of madness."
Later in his life, George III suffered from recurrent and, eventually, permanent mental illness. It is generally agreed that he suffered from the blood disorder, porphyria.

Upon the death of George III, the Prince Regent succeeded his father as George IV. - More
