King Ernest Augustus I

King Ernest-Augustus I of Hanover, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale
(6/5/1771 - 11/18/1851)

King Ernst-August I of Hanover was the fifth son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. After two of his brothers passed, he inherited the Hanoverian cradle of his family. 

King Ernst-August, like his father, had strong views on the importance of a monarch and the role they should play in their countries which gave him an absolutist image in the modern world that does not deserve the criticism but further understanding.

He unlike most of his siblings valued his parents' strict morals and regulations which he adopted in his careers as Royal Prince & Peer of Great Britain and Ireland then King of Hannover.

Etiquette for the Ladies-in-Waiting by Miss Delaney Burney

If you find a cough tickling your throat, you must arrest it from making any sound. If you find yourself choking with forbearance, you must choke but not cough.  In the second place, you must not sneeze. If you have a vehement cold, you must take no notice of it. If your nose membranes feel a great irritation, you must hold your breath. If a sneeze still insists upon making its way, you must oppose it by keeping your teeth grinding together, if the violence of the repulse breaks a blood vessel, you must break the blood vessel but not sneeze. In the third place, you must not upon any account stir either hand or foot. If by chance a black pin runs into your head, you must not take it out. If the pain is very great you must be sure to bear it without wincing.  If it brings tears to your eyes, you must not wipe them off, if they give a tingling by running down your cheek, you must act as if nothing was the matter. If the blood should gush by any means of the black pin, you must let it gush
