Tudor 113611 225813868 2008-07-15T15:04:23Z TrevMrgn 2484634 /* Tudor dynasty */ Fixed re-directed link __NOTOC__ '''Tudor''' is a male [[Christian name]] or [[given name]] used in [[Wales]], and [[Romania]], equivalent to ''[[Theodore (given name) | Theodore]]''. In Wales, 'Tewdwr' was an older spelling, later being [[Anglicised]] to 'Tudor'. Due to evolving Welsh naming conventions, it gradually migrated to become a [[Tudor (surname) | surname]] in Wales. For example, a son of a man called Tewdwr might be styled '(forename) ap Tewdwr' (i.e. '(forename), son of Tewdwr'), which gradually evolved into an English-style surname. Most famously, it was used by a branch of the descendants of [[12th century]] [[Welsh]] ruler [[Rhys ap Gruffydd]] of [[Deheubarth]], who through intermarriage with the English Royal family, ascended the English throne in 1485. This [[Tudor Dynasty]] remained in power until the death of [[Elizabeth I of England | Elizabeth I]] in 1603, an era known historically in England and Wales as the [[Tudor Period]].
