This period is also referred to as the Georgian period- named after England's King George III. Unlike France, England enjoyed a stable political climate during this period. King George was a virtuous man who enjoyed the simple life. He published a number of articles on farming and rural living under the surname "Farmer George." However by 1810, a genetic disorder had fully incapacitated the King and his son, the Prince Regent, stepped into power to rule in his father's place. Thus, the period from 1810 to 1820 is known as England's Regency period.
