[Ansteorra] 1600?

[Elizabeth Crouchet]

King James I and VI is considered by historians to be part of the
Elizabethan Era. It is his successors that are considered the Jacobeans.
England really changes with the beheading of Charles. That is a possible cut
off point. But it is Anglo-centric. So am I.
