George Louis ruled Calenberg-Hannover as Elector from 1698, but his tenure took on broader significance when the Act of Settlement 1701 designated him heir to the British throne through his mother Sophia, granddaughter of James I. These years of minting — 1705 through 1711 — fall squarely in the period when Hanoverian court politics were increasingly entangled with London, as Sophia and her son maneuvered carefully against the ailing Queen Anne's Tory ministers who sought to reverse the succession.
Sophia died just weeks before Anne in 1714, making George Louis king by the narrowest of dynastic margins.
