The Star 1810
1 Mar 1810

English Monarchs

Henry III died in the 56th year of his reign and in the 64th year of his age.

Edward III expired in the 51st year of his reign and in the 65th year of his 
age.

The present King enereed upon the 50th year of his reign on the 25th of 
October.

These are the three longest reigns in English history and what is a remarkable 
coincidence, each of the three sovereigns is the third of the same name, viz.

Henry III; Edward III; and George III.

It appears that of the fifteen monarchs of Europe who were tranquilly seated 
on their thrones in the year 1788, George the Third of England, alone 
possesses the kingly power.

The sum of this melancholy record of royalty stands thus:

One murdered              One assassinated
Five deposed              One abdicated
One expatriated           One died a lunatic
Two poisoned              One natural death
One sudden death          One still reigning
