In Hanover, there was George V of Hanover, continuing the British numbering despite being only the third Hanoverian king of that name.
But George I and George II were Electors of Hanover, so when George V became King of Hanover, he had four monarchs prior to him having the name George, even though the first two weren't Kings.
Exactly. He wasn’t the fifth king of Hanover named George.
