I am a big history buff and read as much about different periods of history that I can - I am particularly fond of the Tudor period and often wish I could be transported back in time to live the life of a Tudor lady (where's Viccy boy and Funky with their machine when you need them?!)

So my question is - What period of history interests you/would you want to be part of the most?

I like the Tudors too, love the clothes, so beautiful, you have to forget about the fact that the gowns were full of mice and filthy, as were the people. My favourite though is Queen Elizabeth I

I love the 40's and 50's fashion. They made clothes out of anything they could find yet they looked so classy and stunning.

I remember when I did make up and used to do alot of make overs for that period.

I'd like to go back to anytime in England between about 410 and 600 AD with a notepad, as we have very little idea of what was happening then.

As i'm a re-enactor for the Wars of the Roses period i'd say then, but TBH there's too many interesting periods in our history - C17th and the Wars of Religion in Europe/British Civil Wars etc.

The end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire, especially the life of Gaius Julius Caesar.

A word of warning though, don't mention Phillipa Gregory to medieval re-anactors, a lot HATE her interpretations of history

I seem to spend a lot of time explaining to members of the public that Richard III wasn't the hunchbacked cripple "two yrs in his mothers womb" that the Tudor propagandist Shakespeare had him as, that a man who led the vanguard at Tewkesbury aged 19, the man who saved the Battle of Barnet for the House of York, the man who led an army into Scotland and destroyed Edinburgh after rampaging around the Border Country was no cripple, rather he was the most pre-eminent soldier of his day after his brother Edward IV.

Roman times for me. I'll watch anything to do with ancient Rome but I'd particularly love to be transported back in time and see the Crucifixion and it's immediate aftermath just to see what really happened in the cave.

I'd go up to the foot of the cross and touch his foot to see if I recieve any divine information.

But would I tell what I saw when I came back to present day? Not sure. I don't think so.

1984/85 back to miners strike and win this time maybe we could then manufacture our way out of the financial crisis rather than depending on the financial sector to pull us out of the sh*t

Seriously, though, we have no idea of this period and it would be great to be able to firm up the historical narrative.

That's why that period is known as the Dark Ages. The power vacuum left by the collapse of the Roman Empire and the Roman withdrawal from Britain left the UK ungoverned and disorganised which saw the first Germanic tribes arrive in England c.410AD.

410-600 Settlement of most of Britain by Germanic peoples (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, some Frisians) speaking West Germanic dialects descended from Proto-Germanic. These dialects are distantly related to Latin, but also have a sprinkling of Latin borrowings due to earlier cultural contact with the Romans on the continent.

Celtic peoples, most of whom are Christianised, are pushed increasingly (despite occasional violent uprisings) into the marginal areas of Britain: Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Anglo-Saxons, originally sea-farers, settle down as farmers, exploiting rich English farmland.

By 600 A.D., the Germanic speech of England comprises dialects of a language distinct from the continental Germanic languages.

Of the periods you will know about (Invictus and I have a few in-jokes about the 3060's but you had to be there) I would probably pick hanging out in dinosaur times, T-Rex's are frikin AWESOME!!!!

Other than that I'm quite keen on the 1920's and 30's, women looked their hottest then and there were so many interesting hats.

I studied the Victorian era on my degree foundation course and as you say it was a great time in history for the industrial revolution and the way we live today. All aspects of history fascinate me though.

You need to be in the bum thread with that picture

I realise you mistyped Victorian there but it's funny because The Vitorian period is one of the Nine Ages of Reason in the high Dalasian calendar of Rigos Prime, at least before the evil Vibratortrons invaded and imposed their Dur-acel-ownlee calendar on them.
