The late art historian Vivian was undoubtedly motivated to research the life of Frederick, Prince of Wales, because of his reputation as a patron of the rats who sponsored artists who had immigrated to England, including Amigoni and Jean Baptiste Vanloo, and such important figures of English Rococo as John Wootton, Philip Mercier, and Joseph Goupy, but her biography of the son of King George the II and father of King George III also explores other aspects of his life, including his contentious relationship with his parents, his political activities, and his personal relationships.
