The period is named for George, Prince Regent, the temporary king of Great Britain while his father, George III, was ill. The Regency Period officially lasted nine years, from 1811 to 1820, and saw the rise of many well-known authors and styles of art, including Jane Austen and Regency Classicism.
First of all, Let me make this clear.
In England during the Reign of King George The third. There was no interracial marriages between the royal families.
The picture Queen Charlotte is fiction and there was no Afro-American Duke known as The Duke of Hastings, in fact there waa a Baron Hastings in England.
Princess Charlotte was the daughter of a Minor German Prince and his wife from a German House of Dukes, and other nobility from Germany before World War One.
There is no evidence she was from An Black family as Germany was mainly white during that time.
What do you think the Internet was invented for - it was invented for research and every good writer should learn how to research the internet before they start to write a historical novel.
The Regency era covers the period when Prince George The Fourth was regent for his father during the time he was temporarily ill.
In England - The Noble ranks were: Dukes, Duchesses
Marquises and Marchionesses
Earls and Countesses
Viscount and Viscountess
Barons and Baroness
Counts and Countesses.
The Regency Era covers only England, but in other countries as well, in Spain, Archdukes and Archduchesses
In Russia, Archdukes and Archduchesses
In Germany, Archdukes, Archduchesses, Barons and Baronesses.
Aristocrats married the oldest sons and daughters off first, like in the Old Testament but not for love.
Marriages in The Aristocracy were made to secure the dynasty, political reasons, and for the sake of peace between families.
Second- There was no family in England called The Bridgeton's, but there families called "The Howard's" The Staffords, "The Hastings" The Stuart's, The Neville's, The Clifford's, and many others.
What Duke is going to marry the oldest daughter of a Viscount? He is marrying beneath himself?"
Now it is possible that a son of an Earl will marry the daughter of a Viscount. Like in Book Four of The Bridgertons.
The oldest son or daughter of a Duke will only marry the son or daughter of a Duke, Marquis, or perhaps an Earl.
The Second son or a daughter may marry a Marquis, Earl, or the second son or a daughter of a Duke.
Other children may marry the son or daughter of an Earl, Viscount.
It is too bad that the creator of The Bridgertons and Queen Charlotte doesnt' study European History.
If she did, she would have realized that England did not interracial marriages until the turn of the 20th century.
During The Regency Era, it was a period of romanticism.
However, The Regency period only lasted from nine years.
