Soooo I know probably no one cares, but I was bored this afternoon and decided to make a list of historical period dramas following the history of the English monarchs
(Note: these are all DRAMAS. None of them are perfectly historically accurate, several of them are downright offensive. Also, several British monarchs are multiple depictions and some had none. I did my best, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. Do your own research on each of the films for any triggers or content warnings.)
William the Conqueror- The Early Life of William the Conqueror, up to the Battle of Hasting and the Invasion of 1066
1066- William the Conqueror, the invasion of England and the Battle of Hastings
[William II does not have any film dedicated to his life or his reign (that was usable, anyway]
[Henry I does not have any film dedicated to his life or his reign]
Pillars of Earth- This series does not focus on it, but it is set to the backdrop of the Anarchy, which is absolutely fascinating, and it is a crime we do not have any good films about Empress Matilda
The Lion in Winter- Henry II and Elanor of Aquitaine (another woman who needs her own miniseries)
Richard the Lionheart (2021)- Richard I
King John (1899!)- John I [ALL of the other movies with these two were fucking Robin Hood movies]
[Henry III has never been depicted in film]
Outlaw King- Edward I
Edward II- Edward II (this is Piers Gaveston erasure that I could only find this one film)
The Dark Avenger- Edward III (and Edward the Black Prince as a bonus!)
Richard II- Richard II (any adaptation works, there are multiple)
The Hollow Crown- Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V
The King- Henry IV and Henry V
[Henry VI has no film depictions of his life or reign. WHICH IS A CRIME GIVE ME MARGARET OF ANJOU YOU FUCKING COWARDS!)]
The White Queen- Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, and Henry VII (plus a fuckton of other historical figures)
Richard III: The Princes in the Tower- Richard III, Edward V
Richard III- Richard III (any adaptation will work, there are multiple. Be forewarned that although modern portrayals tend to be sympathetic, Shakespeare thought he was dick and it shows.)
The White Princess- Henry VII (plus his family)
The Spanish Princess- The last years of Henry VII's reign, the beginning of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII's marriage, and Prince Arthur! (Still salty we haven't had a KING Arthur yet)
The Tudors- Henry VII (+plus his six wives and Mary I) (Henry VII has an absolute fuckton of movies about each of his wives, I recommend picking a few more from the list) (also, be warned that this show is as historically inaccurate as shit, but good for drama)
The Prince & The Pauper- Edward VI (I don't think this one is very historically accurate either, but the most interesting thing about this Edward was his birth and death sooooo)
Lady Jane- Jane Grey
[Mary I has no film depictions of her life or reign (GIVE US A MOVIE YOU COWARDS!) (She does appear in the Tudor's and in some of Elizabeth I's shows though)]
Becoming Elizabeth- Elizabeth I (plus her siblings, I think)
Reign- Mary, Queen of Scots (VERY historically inaccurate, but one of my favorite period dramas. Mary's story is also very important to Elizabeth I and James I's)
Mary, Queen of Scots- Mary, Queen of Scots & Elizabeth I (2018) (this show covers the time in between Mary arriving in England and being executed)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age- Elizabeth I
Elizabeth I- Elizabeth I (2005)
Mary & George- James I & VI (This one isn't out yet, but none of James' other movies are that great- like AT ALL, and this one looks like its shaping up to be interesting)
[Charles I has no film depictions of his life or reign (which is very disappointing- this guy was so awful he got his head cut off and caused a civil war! Where's the vilification?)]
To Kill a King- Oliver Cromwell (+ a little Charles I)
Cromwell- Oliver Cromwell
Charles II: The Power and the Passion- Charles II
[James II has no film dedicated to his life or reign (another one that's a shame, this guy was so unpopular he was ALSO chased off the throne. Down with the Tudors, I want to see some Stuart movies)]
[William III and Mary II have no film dedicated to their joint reign.]
The Favourite- Anne I
[George I has no film dedicated to his life or reign]
[George II has no film dedicated to his life or reign]
Queen Charlotte- George III (and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz)(this one also isn't out yet, but it will be in 2023)
The Madness of King George- George III (and George IV)
A Royal Scandal- George IV
[William IV has no film dedicated to his life or reign]
The Young Victoria- Victoria I
Mrs. Brown- Victoria I
Victoria & Abdul- Victoria I
Edward the Seventh- Edward VII
[George V has no film dedicated to his life or reign]
The Woman He Loved- Edward VIII (and Wallis Nazi Simpson)
Bertie and Elizabeth- George VI (and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon)
The King's Speech- George VI (and Elizabeth Bowes Lyon
The Crown- Queen Elizabeth II
Spencer- Charles III (and Princess Diana)

The Bastard Kings and their families
This is series of posts are complementary to this historical parallels post from the JON SNOW FORTNIGHT EVENT, and it's purpouse to discover the lives of medieval bastard kings, and the following posts are meant to collect portraits of those kings and their close relatives.
In many cases it's difficult to find contemporary art of their period, so some of the portrayals are subsequent.
1) William I of England (c. 1028 – 1087), son of Robert I of Normandy and Herleva of Falaise; with his brothers Odo of Bayeux (d. 1097) and Robert of Mortain (c. 1031–c. 1095), sons of Herleva of Falaise and her husband Herluin de Conteville
2) His father, Robert I of Normandy (1000 –1035), son of Richard II of Normandy and his wife Judith of Brittany
3) His uncle, Richard III of Normandy (997/1001 – 1027), son of Richard II of Normandy and his wife Judith of Brittany
4) His son, Robert II of Normandy (c. 1051 – 1134), son of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders
5) His son, William II of England( c. 1057 – 1100), son of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders
6) His son, Henry I of England (c. 1068 –1135), son of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders
7) His daughter, Cecily of Normandy (c. 1056 – 1126), daughter of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders
8) His daughter, Constance of Normandy (c. 1057/61– 1090), daughter of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders
