George IV, who served as prince regent from 1811 to 1820 (see Regency)before succeeding his f ather, George III, to the throne, brought the standing of the British monarchy lower than a t any other time in its modern history. Born on Aug. 12, 1762, he consorted as a young man wi th his father's parliamentary opponents, including Charles James Fox. In1785 he illegally mar ried Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert. He subsequently denied the marriage in order to secure Parliamen t's payment of his debts, and in1795 he married Princess Caroline of Brunswick, whom he late r attempted to divorce on his accession as king. Although long an ally of the Whigs, he decli ned to bring them into power when he became regent, and he was thereafter associated with dee ply conservative causes, especially the maintenance of official discrimination against Roma n Catholics and Protestant dissenters. His personal profligacy and his treatment of Queen Car oline brought him great unpopularity. He spent extravagant sums on the arts. Some of the rich est portions of the royal collection and, above all, the Royal Pavilion at Brighton remain a s monuments to his cultural interests. He died on June 26, 1830, and was succeeded by his bro ther,William IV.
