Regency era

The Regency era, spanning from 1811 to 1820 in Britain, refers to the period when King George III was deemed mentally unfit, and his son, the Prince of Wales (later King George IV), acted as regent to govern on his behalf. It is known for its distinctive cultural and social developments, including elegant fashion, classical architecture, and a flourishing of arts and literature. This era also reflected social change, with growing urbanization and shifts in class dynamics. The Regency period is often romanticized as a time of elegance, intrigue, and notable historical figures.
