George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was the       first British monarch belonging to the House of Windsor, which he       created from the British branch of the German House of Saxe-Coburg   and     Gotha. As well as being King of the United Kingdom and the other       Commonwealth Realms, George was the Emperor of India and the first   King     of the Irish Free State. George reigned from 1910 through World   War I     (1914–1918) until his death in 1936.

From the age of twelve George served in the Royal       Navy, but upon the unexpected death of his elder brother, Prince Albert       Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, he became heir to the throne     and   married his brother's fiancée, Mary of Teck (known as "May" to   her     family after her birth month). Although they occasionally toured   the     British Empire, George preferred to stay at home with his stamp       collection and lived what later biographers would consider a dull   life     because of its conventionality.

George became King-Emperor in 1910 on the death of       his father, King Edward VII. George was the only Emperor of India to     be   present at his own Delhi Durbar, where he appeared before his     Indian   subjects crowned with the Imperial Crown of India, created     specially for   the occasion. During World War I he relinquished all     German titles and   styles on behalf of his relatives who were British     subjects; and changed   the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg   and   Gotha to Windsor.   During his reign, the Statute of Westminster     separated the crown so that   George ruled the dominions as separate     kingdoms, preparing the way for   the future development of the     Commonwealth. His reign also witnessed the   rise of socialism, fascism,     Irish republicanism and the first Labour   ministry, all of which     radically changed the political spectrum.

George was plagued by illness throughout much of his later reign; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward, upon his death.
