Frederick, Prince of Wales is described in the public record as heir apparent to the British throne from 1727 until his death. Born in Hanover, Kingdom of Great Britain, in 1707. Died in 1751.
Frederick, Prince of Wales (Frederick Louis, German: Friedrich Ludwig; 31 January 1707 – 31 March 1751), was the eldest son and heir apparent of King George II of Great Britain. He grew estranged from his parents, King George and Queen Caroline. Frederick was the father of King George III. Under the Act of Settlement passed by the English Parliament in 1701, Frederick was fourth in the line of succession to the British throne at birth, after his great-grandmother Electress Sophia of Hanover; his grandfather George, Prince-Elector of Hanover; and his father, George. The Elector ascended the British throne in 1714. After his paternal grandfather died and his father became king in 1727, Frederick moved to Great Britain and was created Prince of Wales in 1729. He predeceased his father and upon the latter's death in 1760, the throne passed to Frederick's eldest son, George III.
Frederick, Prince of Wales is recorded among the figures by whom cricket is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Cricket is played in formats lasting from three hours to five days, and a career average across them remains the sport's most argued-over number.
