But people to care about 16th century, they even care about 1066, so it’s not as simple as that. Fair points though. Personally think it it’s a shame as it’s the most important part of English history IMO

Why is the English (or British) civil war rarely talked about outside of history circles? It is one of the most important parts of history but most are barely aware of it, if it all. In contrast, the Tudor era for example is in the global conscience a lot more but no more important IMO
