Any #Historians out there... Why are years ~1485-1550 years considered the Tudor era, but people refer to 1558-ish to 1603 the Elizabethan era - yet there's no corresponding era in between for the Mary reign.

I mean, I GET Edward VI - he only reigned 6 years which were all beset by Lord Protectors with quite different ideas of reigning. And don't get me started about Lady Jane!

Mary? I dislike her reign. I think it was cruel, & I disagree w/the Act of Succession of 1543 🙄! #Tudors #History
