On 15 May 1800, George III went to Hyde Park to review the 1st Foot Guards. During the review, a shot was fired which narrowly missed the King. Mr. Ongley, a clerk in the Navy Office, who was standing only a few paces away, was struck, and it was said that “had the wound been two inches higher it must have been mortal”.

Undeterred, later that same day, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, James Hadfield tried to shoot King George III while the national anthem was being played, and the king was standing to attention in the royal box, along with other members of the Royal Family.

The Battle of Copenhagen of 1801, also known as the First Battle of Copenhagen to distinguish it from the Second Battle of Copenhagen in 1807, was a naval battle in which a British fleet fought and defeated a smaller force of the Dano-Norwegian Navy anchored near Copenhagen on 2 April 1801. Denmark, together with Russia, Prussia and Sweden, tried to protect free trade and oppose England's naval despotism. An English fleet under Nelson appeared off Copenhagen and, despite valiant Danish resistance, invaded the harbour. Denmark was finally forced to recognise English maritime law.

The Treaty of Amiens, signed on March 25, 1802, marked a temporary peace between France (under Napoleon Bonaparte) and Great Britain during the French Revolutionary Wars. It was a significant diplomatic agreement that brought a brief respite from the conflict that had engulfed Europe since 1792.

By 1801, both France and Britain were exhausted by nearly a decade of war. France had achieved dominance on the European continent, while Britain maintained control of the seas. Napoleon, now First Consul of France, sought to consolidate his gains and stabilize France’s position. Britain, facing economic strain and domestic discontent, was also eager for peace. Negotiations began in late 1801, with Joseph Bonaparte (Napoleon’s brother) representing France and Lord Cornwallis representing Britain.

Tensions escalated in 1803 when Britain refused to leave Malta, citing concerns about French ambitions in the Mediterranean. Napoleon responded by threatening to invade Britain, leading to the resumption of hostilities in May 1803. This marked the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars, which would last until 1815.

He was the arch-rival of the Tory politician William Pitt the Younger; his father Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, a leading Whig of his day, had similarly been the great rival of Pitt's famous father, William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham ("Pitt the Elder"). Fox died - still in office - at Chiswick House, west of London, on 13 September 1806, not eight months after the younger Pitt.

The Acts of Union refer to two acts of Parliament, one by the Parliament of Scotland in March 1707, followed shortly thereafter by an equivalent act of the Parliament of England. They put into effect the International Treaty of Union agreed on 22 July 1706, which politically joined the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland into a single "political state", the Kingdom of Great Britain, with Queen Anne as sovereign of both Kingdoms. The English and Scots acts of ratification took effect on 1 May 1707, creating the new kingdom, with its parliament based in the Palace of Westminster.

The edge engraving is inscribed with the name of a volunteer regiment.
