The English Regency, or simply the Regency, is a name given to the period from 1811 to 1820 in the history of the United Kingdom. During this time the Prince Regent, later King George IV, ruled the United Kingdom during the incapacity of his father, King George III.
The term is sometimes used in various ways to include years surrounding the decade of the formal regency. If "Regency" is considered to be transitional between "Georgian" and "Victorian" then it would refer to the entire period from approximately 1811 until the accession of Queen Victoria, encompassing the actual period of Regency, along with George IV's reign in his own right and that of his brother William IV. If "Regency" is contrasted with "Eighteenth century", then it could include the whole period of the Napoleonic wars.
