Why were Henry VIII and Elizabeth I part of a dynasty called “Tudor”?
In this video, historian and author Claire Ridgway explores the fascinating Welsh origins of the name Tudor—from its Brythonic meaning to how a noble family from Anglesey became one of the most famous royal houses in English history.
Discover how:
- The name “Tudor” evolved from patronymic Welsh naming traditions
- Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur rose from Welsh nobility to royal service
- His descendants shaped the Tudor dynasty
- Henry VII proudly claimed his Welsh heritage in his rise to power
- And why he used a red dragon in his arms
From rebellion and exile to royal marriage and the Battle of Bosworth—this is the real story behind the name Tudor.
