Can’t beat the Nazis for a real GoT theme! The inner circle and its workings. The dealings before they came to power, their height and inadvertent loss.
And interesting how Europe almost fell under their spell!

My other favourite choice (I know, I know) is the ancient world of the eastern Mediterranean. The ancient civilisations of Egypt, the Levant and Asia Minor are fascinating. My late wife had a degree in Biblical Archaeology, and it was so interesting.  |

Love the Saxon, Dane stuff for England but I’d like to know more on Scotlands dark ages from the Romans attempts to conquer and thru to the Picts to the Scots.
Unfortunate at school I was taught another country’s history |

"I studied the late eighteenth century in my PhD and that was pretty cool.
But my research masters was on the period roughly from 1980-2018 and that was probably my favorite."
1980-2018 isn’t history - it’s basically my life! |

Watch "The Last Kingdom" on Netflix if you haven't already seen it. It's got alot about the above.
"Barbarians" is another good one it's show's how the Romans subdued the Saxons in What was known as Germania then.

I've always been fascinated by the eighteenth century as it saw the beginnings of what we think of as modern ways of thinking and being, as well as plenty of great art and music which we can still see and hear. |

Last kingdom books by Bernard Cornwell are superb but at times he has guessed based on sources.
I think period before 900 is super vague and there’s much myth from Romans leaving the island to about 800. Frustrating trying to find anything that is useful as there isn’t the level of archeology and knowledge |

English Civil War. Did a ghost hunt at Tutbury castle recently, so I rewatched the Devils Whore and started reading the Lords Legacy books set during that time (Sky have just made this into a series) |

I'm born of the best era in history, central heating indoor toilets and sanitation like never before. I remember none of the above being available at one time. Now I've travelled the world and have all of the above, I'm very lucky |

Mary's prison.Given the recent flooding in the area no wonder she complained it was cold and damp. |

I'd go with Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire.
Just no way that should ever have happened in one lifetime from such nondescript beginnings.
But happen it did. And it was gigantinormous!
Intellectually, culturally, and, if you resisted, savagely. |
