So Much For The Tudor/Stuart Era

Whatever happens in the final, the House of Windsor remain on the throne.

Parliament continues to lead the law-making due to the execution of Charles I but there are signs that this may not be a position they can maintain. So things are beginning to look familiar.

So all that talk about the Tudor/Stuart period looks like being exposed as just that “hype”. If the House of Windsor remains in power, is it too soon to herald the new era of The House of Windsor? If the House of Windsor remains in power it will IMO be a huge blow to Charles Stuart. Not ideal with whole critical and emotional Commonwealth period soon to follow.

Henry VII was only able to capitalise due to the weak era. If he was up against the former GOAT Edward III in his prime, he'd have been exposed as the fraud that he was.

Henry VII was very lucky to win the Bosworth Open in 1485.

If Richard III hadn't have been forced to withdraw due to respiratory problems (the problem being that he stopped breathing), I doubt Henry would have made it to London.

I think you'll find that the 'Henois' era of Real Tennis (1520 - 1530) is still highly regarded, and that no Windsor has come close to that standard.

Oh, you must be a Federer fan - only Federer fans say that, because they don't like the monarchy.

Or maybe a Buck's Fizz fan.

More of a Dollar fan, of the never-to-be-matched Trevor Horn era.

You're such a gritty nihilist, you actually scare me.

Fun fact: Trevor Horn could not play the horn.

I like Joy Division as well, if that helps.
