George I came to England with two mistresses and no wife, having locked his in a German castle thirty two years earlier. Doran's first volume opens the Hanoverian court: Sophia Dorothea of Celle, shut up at Ahlden for a scandal her husband never forgave, and Caroline of Ansbach, the clever consort who effectively governed while George II shouted. Court history with the gossip left in.
