(Which, by the way, seems pretty weak on actual history except a few blurbs and some happy talk)
"No monarch other than the Founder showed more interest in the school, nor became more Etonian at heart, than George III, who spent most of his long reign (1760-1820) at Windsor. School functions were frequently enhanced by his presence and he seldom passed through Eton without stopping to talk to masters and boys, many of whom he knew by name."
Isn't that nice? Oh, wait, wasn't George III pretty much insane for most of that time? So what did they talk about? Or has G3's sanity been overly maligned?
