The New Oxford Companion to Law
... Caroline Caroline of Brunswick ( 1768–1821 ) was the estranged wife of George IV . She is best known for the failed divorce proceedings brought against her in 1820 . Caroline married the Prince of Wales in April 1795 , but they soon separated. Thereafter, and especially during the period 1814–1820 when she lived abroad, Caroline was rumoured to have had several romantic affairs. The government sponsored inquiries into her conduct in 1806 and 1818 . The latter contained serious allegations, but the actual divorce proceedings were prompted by her...

... Caroline affair , the period's greatest popular political mobilization, arose from the public accusations of adultery brought against Princess Caroline of Brunswick by her husband, George , Prince of Wales, over a period of years from around 1802 , culminating in the so-called ‘trial’ of Queen Caroline in 1820 in an abortive attempt by the new King (now George IV ) to prevent Caroline being crowned as Queen. The affair generated street marches, floods of *satirical literature, and an unprecedented feminist agitation when addresses and petitions...

...by the radicals in these years, however, was the *Queen Caroline affair of 1820–1 . When the unpopular George IV sought to divorce the queen, the radicals of London and tens of thousands of ordinary Londoners rallied to her cause and gave a lead to the whole nation. The amount of printed propaganda generated was staggering. For several months the newspapers were full of little else, and hundreds of individual pamphlets and graphic *satires , many of them bestsellers, appeared in support of the queen. Never was a reigning monarch so savagely and coarsely...

...she and her children will be sent away within three days: horrified at the idea of being exhibited in Rome, Cleopatra and her attendants prepare to die. A rustic, who engages the Queen in quibbling banter, brings asps concealed in a basket of figs. Iras and Charmian dress Cleopatra in the same royal robes she wore on the Cydnus: she kisses them farewell, Iras dying before the Queen, who applies an asp to her breast and arm, and herself dies, anticipating a reunion in the afterlife with Antony. Charmian adjusts Cleopatra’s crown and puts an asp to her own arm...

...‘Let us die like men, and not be sold like slaves’. The extraordinary explosion of popular sentiment during the *Queen Caroline affair the following year generated a plethora of radical press attacks on the sexual double standard. Caroline briefly joined a pantheon of constitutionalist popular monarchs alongside Saxon Alfred and Good Queen Bess . Even the seemingly more conventional rhetoric generated during the affair, whereby Caroline was represented as the heroine of a romantic melodrama, a wronged wife and mother betrayed by a gross royal...

...known from 1778 as ‘the Father of His Country’. Even when the family ideal was dramatically broken, as in the notorious example of George IV 's infidelity, the result was an unprecedented popular—and female and feminist—eruption of support for the ‘wronged Queen’ during the *Queen Caroline affair of 1820 . By 1832 , the ideology of the family and of domesticity was firmly rooted in a whole network of interrelated social, scientific, moral, religious, and economic discourses that could be used as weapons against particular social, sexual, and ethnic...

...in the years 1817–19 , during which extra-parliamentary politics was dominated first by petitions and ‘remonstrances’ and subsequently by the spread of mass meetings (culminating in the *Peterloo massacre in August 1819 ), ending in a satirical frenzy prompted by the *Queen Caroline affair (when George IV attempted to divorce his wife) and in a new series of acts against workers' organizations and the popular press. Throughout this period, as in the earlier part of the decade (notably with the *Luddites and a spate of *agrarian rioting in 1816 ),...
