Re: Edward V11 - Prince of Pleasure" BBC2 at 9pm

I just guestimated in my nighttime slumbers, but on checking the general concensus seems to be that genealogically a generation is considered to be 25 years/4 per century, and 20 years/5 per century in the distant past, because of earlier breeding/shorter life expectancies.

Here's just one link. If you search 'How long is a generation', the answers are much the same.
