(redirected from Carolean)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Caroline (1768–1821)

Wife of George IV. She married the Prince of Wales in 1795. The marriage was unhappy from the start. After the birth of a daughter, Charlotte, in 1796, a formal separation took place, and the princess went to live at Blackheath. Weary of continual persecution at the hands of her husband, she went abroad in 1814. When she became queen six years later, she returned to England. A bill to divorce her was introduced into the House of Lords but was not proceeded with. Popular feeling in the country was strongly on her side in the quarrels with her husband. She died a few days after George IV's coronation, from which she was forcibly excluded.
