What If George IV’s Illegal Marriage Had Been Recognized?

Описание: In 1785, a secret marriage threatened to shatter the British monarchy. What if the Prince of Wales, the future King George IV, had been forced to abdicate for marrying his secret Catholic wife, Maria Fitzherbert?

In this episode of Pivot Point History, we explore how one illegal royal wedding could have triggered a new Act of Settlement, installed a "Soldier King" on the throne, and plunged Britain into a militaristic, authoritarian 19th century. We'll uncover how this single pivot point erases Queen Victoria, prevents the Victorian Era, and leads to a drastically different Napoleonic War and Irish Rebellion, changing the world forever.
