Ernst August besaß vier ältere Brüder und damit zunächst wenig Aussicht auf eine Thronbesteigung. Er schlug daher die militärische Laufbahn ein und kämpfte im ersten Koalitionskrieg (1793–1797) gegen die französischen Revolutionäre. 1837 kam er im Alter von 66 Jahren auf den Thron in Hannover. Da er erzkonservativ eingestellt war, geriet er schnell in Konflikt mit seinen Untertanen, darunter den Göttinger Sieben, die allesamt von ihren Professorenämtern entlassen wurden. Erst ein drohender Aufstand im Revolutionsjahr 1848 zwang Ernst August liberale Reformen einzuläuten, welche die Presse-, Versammlungs- und Religionsfreiheit garantierten. 1851 trat er dem Deutschen Zollverein bei und starb kurz danach mit 80 Jahren. Noch heute steht sein Reiterdenkmal vor dem Hauptbahnhof in Hannover.
