Stuarts for Kids

The Gunpowder Plot, the Great Fire of London, the English Civil War & more!

The reign of the Stuarts for kids is particularly interesting because of the Gunpowder Plot, the Great Fire of London, the English Civil War and the Great Plague.

The Stuart kings and queens were on the throne from 1603 until 1714, with a break in the middle when England was declared a republic after the Civil War.

The city of London changed dramatically during the Stuart era after being largely destroyed in the Great Fire of London and rebuilt better than before. William Shakespeare continued to write his popular plays and the theatre flourished in the second half of the Stuart years.
