'He had brought nothing but trouble to the navy: how would he fare as King?'
Known
as the 'Sailor King', William IV was sent to join the navy by his
father to discipline him, but instead became notorious for his
calamitous years of service, his debts and his relationship with the
actress Mrs Jordan. Yet, as Roger Knight's biography shows, William also
helped see the country through the great constitutional crisis of its
age, enabling the smooth succession of his niece Victoria.
