King George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor)
11 December 1936 (after his brother abdicated the throne) up to 6 February 1952 (he died of lung cancer)
Some gossip: King George VI's wife (Queen Mother Elizabeth) partly blamed King Edward VIII for his early death. Unlike Edward VIII, George VI was not raised to be king, and was not as well-equipped to handle the stresses of the throne.
