    What caused the _madness_ of King George III
    Apr 4 2026
    He ruled an empire. He lost America. And then he lost his mind. But was it madness — or something far more sinister?

    For centuries, historians believed King George III suffered from a mysterious mental illness that rendered him unfit to rule. But modern science has uncovered a darker truth. In this episode, we explore the shocking real causes behind the king's "madness" — from a rare genetic disorder called porphyria to the arsenic-laced medicines that may have poisoned him for decades. Based on historical records, hair sample analyses, and royal physician notes, this is a gripping deep dive into the collapse of a monarch's mind. Was it bipolar disorder, schizoaffective illness, or slow poisoning by his own doctors? The answer will change how you see one of history's most infamous rulers. Perfect for true crime fans, history lovers, and anyone fascinated by medical mysteries. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because the king's screams were not madness. They were a warning.
