So, um. Can we make a deal? I start the new post and you guys tell me the gossipy sensationalism version of the English Civil Wars? :) By which I just mean that this is one of those (many many) history things I know basically nothing about because I never read a piece of historical fiction set in that time period :P Seriously, what I know about this entire time period is "English revolution... something something... Oliver Cromwell... something something... people getting their heads cut off... Charles II." I tried looking up wikipedia but... it's a lot.

(Also apparently in my brain I was conflating the names Glorious Revolution and the English Civil Wars, whooooops)
