The Tudors of Penmynydd (Welsh: Tuduriaid Penmynydd) were a noble and aristocratic family, connected with the village of Penmynydd in Anglesey, North Wales,[2] who were very influential in Welsh (and later English) politics. From this family arose Sir Owen Tudor and thereby the Tudor dynasty, that ruled the Kingdom of England from 1485 to 1603.[3] The Tudor dynasty ended in the early 17th century with the death of Elizabeth I.
