Who was the King of England during the American Revolution, who later suffered a mental breakdown?

• A. Patrick Henry
• B. King George III
• C. John Hancock
• D. Wentworth Cheswell

Answer: (B)

King George III fits both parts of the clue. He was the king of England during the American Revolution, ruling from 1760 to 1820, and in his later years he experienced episodes of illness that popular culture has described as madness, even prompting discussions of regency. The other names were American figures, not English monarchs, so they don’t match the description.
