Frederick, PRINCE OF WALES (1707–51), eldest son of George II., quarrelled with his father over his own marriage. In 1737 he joined the parliamentary opposition, was banished from court in consequence of his ill-treatment of his wife and of his disobedience to his father. He died before his father, leaving his son to ascend the throne as George III. on the death of George II.
