Summary: "While the 1794 marriage of George, Prince of Wales, to Caroline of Brunswick was doomed to failure from the start, few could predict the extreme--and outrageous--lengths to which the unhappy couple would go. Caroline was eventually brought to trial and was faced with the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Brilliantly defended by Henry Brougham, the popular Princess of Wales escaped penalty, but her legacy remains controversial as ever." --Gryphon Editions. Item #171275
