British Historiography and the first Hanoverian on the British Throne, Georg I.

Nakon dugog perioda nestabilnosti, poslije dinastije Stuart, na prijestolje Velike Britanije dolazi nova strana dinastija - njemačka dinastija Hanover. Dinastija svoju sukcesiju duguje vjeri, ali i parlamentu. Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se životom prvog britanskog kralja i kneza izbornika Hanovera, Georgea I. Rad opisuje njegov život kao princa Svetog Rimskog Carstva, zatim kneza izbornika Hanovera i događajima koji su doveli do njegova stupanja na britansko prijestolje. Također prati njegovu vladavinu dugu 13 godina i prikazuje najvažnije događaje i odnose koji su obilježili taj period. Uz sintezu njegove vladavine, obrađuje se i percepcija javnosti na novu dinastiju i na uniju koja je nastala između Velike Britanije i Hanovera.After a long period of instability, after house of Stuart, on the throne of Great Britain came a new, foreign dynasty - German dynasty of Hanover.
