Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., April 06, 2022

England had, in the course of its history, a king who was completely normal during the first thirty years of his reign and completely mad for the next thirty.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach retraces the long and very turbulent reign of King George III of England... 

In the early days of his reign, George III enjoyed extraordinary popularity.

But over the course of the trials, its governance turns to disaster.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of history", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts the 59-year reign of George III.
