Who is George II from The Phenomenology of Mind and what is their importance?

George II was a King of England. He was king during the time that the philosopher Hegel was alive. One of George II's public policies was to restrict knowledge or information regarding the science or pseudo-science of physiogny within the nation of England. He was not the first English Monarch to do this. As such, he revived pre-existing laws rather than inventing entirely new ones.
