Tudor

The Tudor / Tewdwr Family of Wake County, North Carolina comes from a long line of Welsh Families, female lines of succession, and bastard children of Nobility unaccepted in ancient times but, recognized here for their bloodlines.  Tudors are key to the Royal Tribe of Pomperol in the maternal lines. The Welsh name Tudor comes from the personal name Tudur, an ancient Celtic name of unknown meaning. It is thought that the name, especially the form Tewdwr, may have also emerged as a Welsh version of the Latin Theodorus. The surname Tudor was first found in Herefordshire, where Tudor Trevor was Lord of Hereford, Whittington, and both Maelors. He was founder of the Tribe of the Marches, born in Denbigh, son of Ynyr Ap Cadforch, whose descendants intermarried with the distinguished families of North Wales.
