For all the stir it caused, the actual Regency lasted only nine years: From Feb. 5, 1811, when George, Prince of Wales, was sworn in as regent, to Jan. 31, 1820, when he was proclaimed king of England.  So why do you hear “Regency Era” used to describe the years 1780 to 1830 in English history?

 

The answer is simple: Those years are marked by the influence of the man who became King George IV.  Some would say the decades took on the character and personality of the Prince Regent himself—a Royal known for his flamboyance, passion for the arts and fondness of earthly pleasures.  Fittingly, the Regency of “Prinny,” as he was known to his peers, is forever linked with the high living class that was the ton.  And Sabrina’s novels offer readers a sexy, behind-the-scenes peek into that era.  Visit often for the latest offerings!
