FREDERICK LOUIS (1707-1751) , prince of Wales, eldest son of George II., was born at Hanover on the loth of January 1707. After his grandfather, George I., became king of
Great
  Britain and Ireland in 1714, Frederick was known as duke of Gloucester 1 and made a knight of the Garter, having previously been betrothed to Wilhelmina
Sophia

 , had been frustrated by Walpole, Frederick was married in April 1736 to
