When elizabeth was on the throne you were Elizabethans with queen Victoria you were Victorians when edward was king you were edwardians what will you be if William or Charles get on the throne?

Answer 1

well, this is a difficult question however to put things simply, a certain era is named after a monarch. the people of that era are named after the monarch, eg, elizabethans, the notible and commonly used ones are ones which you have put in your question. these era's happen when the king or queen make a significant mark on society and the country, Victoria built an empire, elizabeth the first made England wealthy, edwardians were involved in the new technology age, today you may consider us during our queens reign elizabethans, during the 1950s in the queens early years Britain was recovering from the secound world war, people used the term to symbolise a new beginning, a beginning where we had never had life so good. however today the term is not really used and the concept of using the monarchs name to determine an era is not heard of any more, however we will not see the future era's because the name of an era is not really given to it until that era has passed, so it will not be until many years after William and Charles die and the impact they make, will we know what the era will be known as, if they do make a significant impact that is.
