Every period in history is fascinating. The Greeks, the Romans, Genghis Khan, William the Conqueror, Robin Hood, they all have stories to tell. However, I believe the Tudor period and the Regency period are the most popular for authors and readers.<\/p>\n
The Tudor period was dominated by Henry VIII creating the Church of England, divorcing wife number one and removing the heads of wives two and five as the years went on. Bloody Mary lit fires under the heretics, and her sister Elizabeth brought peace and power to England, although Elizabeth did remove the head of her plotting Scottish cousin. Those larger than life Tudors and William Shakespeare have given inspiration to authors and playwrights around the world.<\/p>\n
The Regency period was more romantic and prettier. It was a renaissance![\"Regency](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Depositphotos_241445092_s-2019_RegencyCouple.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1\")

We\u2019d be lost without Jane Austen\u2019s window into the times in which she lived, and Georgette Heyer\u2019s wealth of historical detail in her books. Of Heyer\u2019s fifty-five novels published during her lifetime, twenty-six are set specifically within the English Regency period and, incredibly, no one took their clothes off. I\u2019m no prude, far from it, I am in awe this brilliant author, whose books are still in print, can still capture millions of readers and take them back to that romantic period.<\/p>\n
World War One changed our history and our world in ways that nobody could have imagined. Empires crumbled, royal dynasties wiped out, massive social change \u2013 and women got the vote. I\u2019ll sneak in my \u201cGood on ya Kiwis,\u201d to New Zealand, the first country to give women the vote.<\/p>\n
