Interestingly, George II knew George Washington’s name because he signed a surrender to the French after the debacle at Ft. Necessity which helped to start the French and Indian (aka Seven Years War). George II thought GW a disgrace.

And his son George III said Washington was “the greatest man in the world” if he gave up command of the Continental Army after the Revolution was won—which Washington did.
