Question Title Here

[del8oy1]

If Elizabethan equals Elizabeth, George equals Georgian etc, what periods are named after Charles or Henry

[jno]

Carolean and Henrician, but they don't get used much

[woofgang]

Caroline for Charles. For Henry it depends on which one....Henry VIII’s time is generally called The Reformation

[jno]

oh and Henrician seems to be attached almost entirely to Henry VIII of England.

[Mamyalynne]

Some joker has suggested - Chuckensian, which I quite like.

[jno]

and Wilhelmine for William (you sometimes read it of William IV). But mostly we refer to whole dynasties rather than individual monarchs: Tudors and Stuarts and so on.

[Hopkirk]

What about her maj, when she does?

Can't be Elizabethan, can it?

[Jackdaw33]

Probably the second Elizabethan era.

[jourdain2]

Carolinian and Henrician respectively. Henrician is unusual to use, but Carolinian is in reasonably common usage.

[Peter Pedant]

or Carolean

in 1952 they went around calling themselves the New Elizabethans

There is also Tudorbethan for mock Tudor

[woofgang]

They didn’t PP....some people tried to get it used and there was a mag called Young Elizabethan but it never took off.

Strange how the reign of Edward VII, who was king for only 9 years, has its own style.

[woofgang]

PP it was an invented title and it didn’t stick....

[hiflier]

I would like to suggest Carolingian.

[Jackdaw33]

Carolingian is used to describe the times of Charlemagne the Great and his immediate successors.
