I think that King George loved Cora, the miller’s daughter. He was greedy for wealth, which is why he initially pledged to marry Cora, after she made various with deals with Rumpelstiltskin that he’d spin straw into gold for her. She even promised her first-born child, Regina, to Rumpel. I think King George did come to love Cora, but I think as a result of that deal with Rumpel, Cora drank the potion to not conceive a child. This was too much for King George and so maybe he split from Cora. Perhaps Cora did eventually have a child, Regina, after she drank the water from Lake Gnostos.

I had that same thought, except for the fact I thought in Price of Gold last season King George said his wife was dead.
So, maybe King George thought his wife was dead. Or maybe it is one of those literary devices where a person is alive but you speak of them as though they are dead because they are dead to you. If Cora learned her magic from Rumple and somehow swung a deal with him, maybe Rumple took Regina when she was born and then gave her back to Cora, helping Cora become so evil that Regina would call on him ( all part of his “glimpsing the future” plan), and continue to put his plan for finding Bae in motion centuries later. I will say the writers are proving to us that Rumple is a very meticulous, calculating, patient man.
Oh, and if Cora as the miller’s daughter married King George, and after the deal with Rumple and loss of Regina drank the potion mentioned, so as to keep Rumple from taking any other children she might have (who knows what the deal was exactly in our story), it would be interesting to consider that Regina may actually be King George’s daughter, and he thinks he is childless.
I don’t think he and Cora would be suited–they are both manipulative and dangerous. And the way he spoke of his wife was with tenderness, not bitterness. He seemed to truly love her–also, the way he described his wife’s poisoning seemed to be accidently, not on purpose.
Well George could have married Cora when he was a prince and maybe not so quite greedy. Honestly I think of this version of the Rumpelstiltskin story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-nR90ieAo&feature=relmfu). This is a clip from a version that I watched as a child. If you actually watch it please pardon the 80’s acting. However if Georges father wanted more gold after Cora and Rumple parted ways after she guessed his name, obviously she would have been unable to do it. The King then would have probably tried to kill her. Cora then could have turned to rumple for help and that is when she started to get her magical powers. The king would have then found a wife who was “suitable” for George and that could have been his wife Rumple mentioned in Price of Gold.
What if Cora wasn’t King George’s true love, but rather his second wife? He loved and lost his first wife, and then decides to be more practical with his second wife. A fertile woman who can spin straw into gold is somewhat useful.

Or maybe Cora was his true love and after she left him, he remarried and the 2nd wife was the one that died. That way, he can be bitter about Cora and like his wife, although he didn’t deeply love her.
After reading everyones comments, I think its highly probable that we are going to get a King George backstory, which will probably include Cora and Rumple. Cora may be George’s former wife (that drank the curse), or she may have been the one that introduced the curse to George’s wife.
Or maybe we will see a similar situation with Cora and her mother, where Cora’s mother wanted her to marry the King but Cora wanted to marry Henry Sr./paralleling what happened between Cora and Regina and Daniel in the Stable Boy.
