the Wars of the Roses are like the world's worst word problem, somehow we go from Plantagenets to Tudors but the only people fighting were York and Lancaster, SOLVE FOR X where X is Elizabeth Woodville

me, trying as hard as I can to explain what "The Regency" was: empire-waist dresses that looked bad on everyone. Jane Austen. Beau Brummel was mean to someone named George.

"Someone regented," "I think someone said the word Hanoverian at one point," "definitely either before or after Cromwell, one of the two"

and that's how queen victoria was conceived, as a reaction to the death of princess charlotte. literally her dad read an op-ed in the newspaper that was like "these royal princes really gotta get fucking or britain is in trouble"

anyways the royal house of windsor is a bullshit name, they're actually the royal house of saxe-coburg-gotha. they changed their name during ww1 because of anti-german sentiment.
