	The Tudor Period in England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Many people regard the Tudor period in England as an exciting and romantic time.
		They think of picturesque timber Tudor mansions and cottages; beautiful music like Greensleeves; poetry and prose from the likes of Shakespeare; great feasts; fancy, frilly fashions; sailing ships and heroes like Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh.
		General life expectancy in Tudor times was low and only about one in 10 people reached 40 years of age.

	Tudor dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tudor dynasty began with the secret marriage between Owen Tudor, a descendant of Ednyfed Fychan, seneschal of Gwynedd in the time of Llywelyn the Great, and Catherine of Valois; gaining strength in the only Earl of Richmond to become King of England and ending when Elizabeth died childless.
		This coincides with the rule of the Tudor dynasty in England, with the exception of Elizabeth I. Occasionally the term is used more broadly to capture Elizabeth's reign as well, though in general 1558 – 1603 is treated separately as the Elizabethan era.
		To the Tudor period belongs the elevation of the English-ruled state in Ireland from a Lordship to a Kingdom (1541).

	Tudor Furniture, English Tudor Style Furniture
		The tudor period in English history begins with the ascent to the throne of King Henry VII in 1485, this event signifying the end of the Middle Ages in Britain and supposedly the historic beginning of the English Renaissance.
		Tudor interiors, in contrast to the lack of grace and quantity in furniture, were often beautifully decorated with tapestries, embroidery, carpets, and fabrics.
		To summarise, the early tudor period in England before the Elizabethan age was, in matters of furniture and interior design, mostly part of the gothic tradition only changed somewhat by incipient continental ideas flowing across the channel in very small waves and by new wood crafting knowledge.

	Architectural Furniture - Tudor Period
		English oak presented to the wood-carvers an ideal material upon which to operate, and as its colour darkened with age and exposure and shone with the polish of honest labour, its beauty increased.
		At others it is almost fl (sometimes suspiciously so, having been assisted at some period by a darkening process), and although connoisseurs prefer the rich golden brown or brown-fl they do not object to the " colour of age" and the polish imparted by frequent rubbing.
		The ceiling is a fine piece of Tudor plastering ; the walls are of panelled oak, inlaid with holly and bog oak.

	Sixteenth-Century Justices of the Peace
		The five Tudor monarchs of the sixteenth century found the justices of the peace, men appointed from the gentry class to ensure the peacefulness of the counties and to see that parliamentary and crown statutes were carried out on a local level, to be a most useful tool of local government.
		The justices throughout the medieval and Tudor periods served to continuously keep the monarchs aware of the local concerns of the counties; particularly in the face of the growing centralization favored by the Tudor monarchs.
		Throughout the period of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and later in the Tudor period, England found the need in times of crises or warfare to depend upon increased participation of these local gentry officers, and to increase the powers and the width of their jurisdiction to maintain peace and lawful order in the counties.

	Vallieres. Tudor Succession Problems.
		The Tudor dynasty was plagued by poor health, short-lives and a shortage of male claimants to the throne.
		While the Tudor period is generally viewed as a one of stability, the recurring succession difficulties created instability and often posed the threat of civil war and even foreign invasion.
		The succession problems of the Tudor monarchs were largely caused by their lack of issue, for none of Henry VIII's children had children, poor health and were complicated by plots arising from the uncertainty of the succession, foreign affairs, and the wishes of the monarchs of the periods in relation to Henry VIII's will.

	The Tudor Period - Antique Furniture - Tudor Period
		IT is by no means easy to distinguish between the furniture made during the late Gothic period, or the time when the influence of Continental Renaissance was still strong in England, and that made when the Tudor sovereigns were seated on the English throne.
		Dates which have been carved thereon in recent years to enhance the antiquarian value of the piece are not so easy to distinguish, for when placed there for that purpose the carver has tried to imitate the correct style of lettering, and has dated the piece according to his estimate of its age.
		In this and the following two chapters English furniture is referred to as "Tudor," "Elizabethan or late Tudor," and " Jacobean," using the latter term in the narrowed sense of the period after the Restoration.
