LONDON (AP) — “Mad” King George III — the villain of “Hamilton,” “Schoolhouse Rock” and the Revolutionary War — has undergone a makeover in time for America’s 250th birthday.
He’s been known in the United States for centuries as the English ruler who lost the American colonies. You might remember him as the maniacal monarch from the Broadway musical or the subject of the 1990s play and film, “ The Madness of King George.” Americans of a certain age would recall him as the tyrant who taxed them without consent in the song, “ No More Kings.”
