How much did King George III of Britain weigh?

score:4

Accepted answer

A rather precise measurement for one specific point in time would be:

He had a decided pyknic habitus—according to the work of Kretschmer, the usual body build for the manic depressive patient. He was five feet ten and one-half inches tall, and in his fifth decade weighed two hundred and ten pounds. He was muscular rather than fat. He had blonde hair; fair ruddy skin; a prominent nose and grey eyes.
