Edmund Blackadder, Esq. (1762–1830) was the butler to the Prince Regent, George, the main character of the third series and the third Blackadder shown in the series. Unlike Prince Edmund and Lord Edmund Blackadder this Blackadder wasn't a royal himself, rather he served one, the idiotic Prince Regent George. However after he and George swapped coats and assumed each other's identities, and George killed by the Duke of Wellington due to his annoying nature, Blackadder would continue pretending to be the late prince and eventually become King George IV.
