The main scope of the list is to discuss the people and history of England in the time of the Tudor monarchs (1485-1603). We also discuss the time period leading up to the Tudors, the Tudor family before 1485 and to some extent the 'larger picture' of what was going on in the rest of the world in the 16th century. We also sometimes discuss the effect the Tudors had after the reign of Elizabeth I (1603). Corresponding topics such as heraldry, royal genealogy, renaissance faires, the SCA, etc. also come up and are welcome.
