Answer 2

this question does not make sence

nor does the first answer

the only tudor i know of , is the english royal house

starting from Henry VII in 1485 and lasting 118 years

Henry VII had 2 sons, as english monarch goes, the eldest son becomes monarch (and is also titled as the prince of wales before hand) if he dies his younger brother become king, and so on, but if there are no sons, the eldest daughter takes the throne. this happens nowadays.

Henry tudor, had 10 children, (he had more but most of them died before they're 1st birthday) and they were given titles, his eldest son died while in battle so he predecesed his father, so henry VII became the next in line.

a bit of a history lesson, but only beacuse im good at history.

Henry VIII had 6 wives, and is world famous for this, after he died, his only alive son, Edward, became king but didnt last very long, he became king when he was 10, and then died, when he was 16. then it was Queen jane tudor, and then when she died, lady jane grey became queen and lasted for 9 days until mary tudor kicked her off. when she passed away. Elizabeth I became monarch, and because she never married, she was the last monarch in the tudor line, so then came the the house of Stuart.

Queen Elizabeth was a virgin queen until the day she died, and it is one of the reasons why, the american state, Virginia, has its bizare name.

then afterwards the war of the roses, and a few other things like the industrial revolution and the 2 world wars then 'nam and the the gulf war and then iraq, and then nowadays.

Answer 3

The origin of the name Tudor is Welsh of the Old Celtic name Teutorigos, meaning "ruler of the people". As a surname it was borne by five monarchs of England beginning with Henry VII in the 15th-century.

The origins of the Tudor name came from 'Theodorus', which was a Roman name of Greek origin meaning 'divine gift' , which gives us the modern English personal name of Theodore.

In old Welsh 'Theodorus' became 'Tewdos' or 'Tewdwr', and was a personal name particularly associated with the ruling dynasties of Dyfed and Deheubarth in south-west Wales. In more modern Welsh 'Tewdwr' became 'Tudur' , which was rendered into English as 'Tudor'.

Answer 4

It was the House of Royalty a bunch of English Royalty were in. Just like the current Queen is House of Windsor.

Answer 5

Theodore...

it's Welsh for Theodore

Answer 6

Either the Tudor family, five members of whom ruled England (Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward, Mary and Elizabeth the Great) or the historical period in which they ruled, which also includes the architecture.

Answer 7

It's a Welsh given name. Original Spelling is "Tewdwr". It was taken as a family name by Owen Tudor, the ancestor of the British dynasty, and later applied to anything having to do with that dynasty, including architectural, costume, artistic and furniture styles, as well as to the period (from Henry VII to Elizabeth I or 1485-1603) when that dynasty reigned over england.

As to the meaning of the name in Welsh, it's apparently the local version of "Theodore" (Greek for "Gift of God") . It could also be a deformation of the Saxon/Frankish name Theodoric or Thjodric, but the might be conflations between that one and the Christian name too. I'm still looking and will add it if I find more.

Answer 8

It's a old family. the name has died out now.

You must have heard of Henry and his 6 wifes, he was a tudor

Answer 9

It was the last name of a royal family in England.

Answer 10

It's a Welsh given name, ususally thought to be the Welsh version of Theodore.. Since almost all Welsh last names are based on first names, it should be no surprise that there are still people named Tudor, even though the royal house of that name came to an end with the death of Queen Elizabeth I.
