The Strange History of George II's Clever Queen | History for Sleep

How did a penniless German orphan become the quiet intelligence behind Britain's throne? This calm history for sleep follows Caroline of Ansbach from her childhood in a small German court to her place beside George II as queen of Great Britain. Along the way, we explore the Hanoverian court, the politics of Georgian Britain, her learning and religious convictions, her marriage, her influence over ministers, and her role in the early fight against smallpox. Subscribe and settle in for a slow, gentle journey through eighteenth century Europe, royal power, court life, and the remarkable life of a queen whose mind shaped a kingdom from behind the throne.
