Frederick hired out so many troops to his nephew, King George III of Great Britain , for use in the American War of Independence , that " Hessian " has become an American term for all German soldiers deployed by the British in the War .

His paternal grandparents were Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Princess Friederike of Hesse-Darmstadt.
