The History Society was delighted on Tuesday 17 November to welcome Professor Jeremy Black (OH) who spoke about George III, King of Great Britain and King of Ireland (1760-1820).

Professor Black has written two books about the Hanoverian Monarch, America’s Last King published in 2006 and the recently published George III: Majesty and Madness. The event was held virtually with Lower Sixth students listening in from the Bourne Meeting Room and Upper Sixth historians watching from History Library. 

We are delighted that former colleagues, old boys and friends of the School were able to participate in the event. We are extremely grateful to Professor Black for improving our students’ understanding of the past and of History as an intellectual pursuit.
