Changes

'''Ernest Augustus I''' (1771 – 1851) became King of [[Hanover]] in 1837, while his niece [[Victoria]] (daughter to his elder brother Edward who had died in 1820) inherited the throne of the United Kingdom. Their predecessor was King [[William IV]] - another of Ernests's elder brothers and therefore uncle to Victoria. Thus, the [[personal union]] of the United Kingdom and Hanover, which had lasted since 1712, was split.
