So we've entered a new Carolean age. I think it would be interesting to have, from a historical point of view, some of the focus shifted from the omnipresent Henry V111 and The Tudors to the period of history that encompassed the reigns of Charles 1 and Charles 11. I don't remember covering this period when I was at school and from what I remember of my own children's history lessons there was a brief and cursory time spent on Charles 1 and The English Civil War. Given the importance of the outcome of that war and all that followed in the immediate aftermath, I can't help feeling that not only is this period of history very interesting but somewhat neglected and possibly there may be a new generation of children who may ponder on who were Charles 1 and Charles 11.
