Description

Witness the incredible life of Caroline, a woman from Hanover who gained significant influence after moving to England. When her father-in-law ascended the throne as George I, and her husband became the Prince of Wales, she found herself in the midst of royal tumult. Despite the unpopularity and ineffectiveness of the King, Caroline strived to mediate between him and his disgruntled subjects. When her husband took the throne as George II, the situation worsened, and Caroline found herself reigning over the country in all but name. In this captivating examination, Wilkins presents Caroline as one of the most powerful women in English history, second only to Elizabeth I.
