Brief English History

In searching the internet for references to Trueloves in the years 1066 to 1837 I have noticed more references in some periods than others. Obviously this relates to events in English History. I have included this page so when I find information I can relate it to the historical events.

I am starting in the middle with Elizabeth Tudor (I) working upwards to cover 1550 to 1900 first:

Henry Tudor (VIII).
