What is your favourite period in history?

i have a minor in art history and that is such a hard question, each era brings around new ideals, customs, tradtions, goals, etc. touch question.

I like to study the history of malta during the Knights period prior to 1798 when he French took over. The Kinights build a lot of historical places such as the St. John Co Cathedral, the auberges and Valletta amongs other places.

Old stuff, really old stuff, in fact, when I went to the British museaum we got up to the middle ages and I said "Okay, I'm done, we can go."

Pre-Roman, and in the Americans, Pre-Columbus are my interests. Oh, not to say that the Romans are also interesting, but no much after them.

To study, I love the Tudor era of England and Scotland, so from the late 1400-1608. The era I wish I were alive to live in was 1920-1933 here in America.

Early Roman Empire for me. Anytime between Vespasian and Hadrian. The Empire reached it's greatest extent under Hadrian when you could have travelled freely from Scotland to the Euphrates with one language or maybe two, Latin and Greek, travel was safe under the Pax Romana and the Roman currency was used over that entire area - something that still does not exist or is likely to. After Hadrian though, things started to go downhill.

World War II - It's the most devastating war that mankind has ever fought. It truly was a world war in that there was almost no part of the world that was not affected by it. And it did more to shape our current world than any other event since then.

I love the Renaissance Age from the Arts/Literature perspective. A lot of revolutionary thought (both good and bad) emerged during this time. I respect it for the sheer spirit that had. And, I like the 1960s and 1970s as well. They were so profound and distinctive, I feel.

I am not a historian but when I was studying the Tudors at school I was quite intrigued.

My favorite period in history is the medieval period because that was so interesting. I am more fascinated with the lifestyle during the medieval times and curious to know everything about that period. My interest is focused on the English history. War of the roses, which was called as one of the bloodiest civil war that ever fought in England soil, is quite interesting. It was rooted English throne succession, this was fought by two warring houses LANCASTERS AND YORKS, which descended from the house of PLANTAGENET of Edward III.

When Edward III died, he was succeeded by his grandson King Richard II, son of the Black Prince, but Richard II ruled the Kingdom with tyranny and oppression that he was deposed and exiled. The two contenders were his cousins-Prince Henry and Richard of York. The battle won by Henry and reigned as Henry IV, but his grandson Henry VI lacked all the skills of a strong ruler as he always suffered from bout of madness, which he probably inherited from his maternal grandfather King Charles VI of France, in the end, he was imprisoned and murdered at the gloomy Tower of London by his cousin Edward of York who became King Edward IV.

The unstable royal court undergo another round of terror when Edward IV died, his young son and successor briefly reigned as Edward V but then declared illegitimate through an Act of Parliament at the instigation of his unscrupulous uncle Richard the Duke of Gloucester. Edward IV and his brother the Duke of York were imprisoned at the tower of London and never to be free again, they were both missing and nowhere to be found which presumed dead. The Duke of Gloucester reigned as Richard III but many years later defeated and killed by the Lancastrians at the battle of Bosworth.

Lancastrian leader, Henry Tudor, became King Henry VII and united the two warring houses by marrying Edward IV's daughter Princess Elizabeth of York earning him the title "Solomon King of England". They produced nine children, Princess Margaret, their eldest child, marry King James of Scotland, she was the great grandmother of King James I, the first of the Stuarts in the English throne. Henry VII was succeeded by his second son Henry and took the regnal name Henry VIII and began the most controversial era in British history.
