Can someone give me any Victorian era historical events?

I am making a historical novel. It's my project. and i need a historical event in the Victorian era. like some wars, crusades, revolutions that can be associated with feudalism.

my story revolves around a girl named Nikola (ah, can anyone give me a good surname too) who is a very scary girl that lives in a land owned by Conrart's family (nikola's love interest). as the story goes on, they eventually discovers that Nikola was actually the heir to a very rich man and needs to leave the land. then after some time, Conrart wants to prove himself to be a very worthy man and goes on a (revolution, war,crusade, help! i really need this event!) but, he does not know that Arthur, Nikola's "brother" was actually his brother. and Conrart's mom ,who wants a good relationship with Nikola's treasures needs a son to be engaged with Nikola. but, since conrart was gone to that event, nikola married arthur. and conrart dies on that event.

phew. now that's over. i chose, victorian era because by that time life was much easier. than that in the 1200, and also: are glasses invented by then?

please please i really really need this event! and can someone give me some surnames suggestions that are appropriate for my characters and their status. and please tell me if u have some story alikes. thanks.

thank you. and no rude answers please.

and please don't copy/misjudge my story.
