"This pamphlet comments on the events of 1820, in which King George IV, who had recently succeeded to the throne, attempted to divorce his long-estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick. In order to secure his divorce, George had a special bill moved in the House of Lords. The Lords heard evidence of the Queen's adultery, but with public opinion strongly in Caroline's favor, the measure was ultimately withdrawn by the government. Caroline remained married to George until her death the following year. This trial was captured in a sumptuous painting by George Hayter in 1823.".
