If Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian and Elizabethan....

[PraiseBee]

relate to something during the reign of Q Victoria, K George, K Edward and Q Elizabeth. How do you write Charles, William, Charlotte into an 'ian' or 'an'?

There were Tudors and Stuarts and so on, so perhaps just Windsors?

'What a lovely example of a chair produced in the Windsor era'
'The Windsors reintroduced jousting'

Good point!
Although- a monarch often takes a different name. So we may not have an era for the real names.

Isn't pertaining to Charles ' Carolian' ? Maybe Charlotte would be the same

Carolingian

Charles would be Caroline. So perhaps the same for Charlotte?

So Carolinian?

Oh yes... that's it!

I nit sure he will be King Charles, he may be though, he is potentially going to take George, we will need to wait and see

Prior to George it was Queen Anne and that was the Stuart period.

Charles I was the Caroline era and Charles II was Carolean era according to google 😁

I would of thought it would be known as the Windsor era.

There's no guarantee that Charles (or the others) will use their first name as their regnal name. Iirc Victoria was called Alexandrina, Ed 8th was David and George 6th was Albert. Maybe he'll go for something else? Like Kevin. Then we'll have a Kevinian era.

'Elizabethan era' is for Queen Elizabeth I though
We don't call the era we live in now 'Elizabethan' .

James went over to Jacobean - Latin style name.

Interesting we don't have a Henrian/Henryean?! era.

I am not sure Charles is going to be Charles anyway, apparently. So we might be back to Georgian, then whatever William will be, then Georgian.

Monarchs take on a different name?! Did not realise this!

Yes and George is one of his middle names.

He doesn’t Actually have a surname. He could use mount batten Windsor or Wales, but he actually doesn’t have one.

Yes, Elizabeth was asked but chose to keep her name, but many of them don’t.

Carolingian has precedent. If he uses his real name, which seems unlikely due to past associations.

K George, K Edward and Q Elizabeth
Well, which George, Edward and Elizabeth do you mean? Georgian isn’t all of the Georges Edwardian not all of the Edwards etc etc.
They’ll be other naming conventions applied - like early Baroque during William and Mary’s reign for example.

Using the surname is a good point. I like the sound of 'a chair from the Windsor period'

Tangential thought inspired by this thread: when did the Hanoverian period become the Georgian period, or was it always both?

Or something else will prevail like the sub period of the Georgian era known as Regency etc

Sadly dentons I wasn't thinking that intellectually, just random thought that was in my head. Glad for my mind to be extended though. It's been a long lockdown

Hanoverian just referred to the House. The era was Georgian and, of course, Victorian. I think William IV reign was known as part of the Regency period.

Regency period being a sub part of the Georgian period as mentioned before

It's 'Henrician'
