#Stewart monarchs were not a junior sept of the Tudors installed in a vassal kingdom- or whatever it is people think
Text
I’m petty and not a royalist, but seeing royal Stewarts referred to as Tudors is still teeth-gratingly irritating
#Older dynasty!#Different country!#Heirs to an ancient independent concept of kingship reputed to stretch back to 842!#Stewards of Scotland from the twelfth century; kings of Scotland from 1371!#Stewart monarchs with red hair didn't have a 'Tudor look' they had a Stewart look ok#Stewart monarchs were not a junior sept of the Tudors installed in a vassal kingdom- or whatever it is people think#A Stewart princess was dowager duchess of Brittany when Henry Tudor was still mooning around Suscinio#Stewart ancestors were major lords on the west coast of Scotland when the Plantagenet royal dynasty was just starting out#And a bigger dynasty in terms of offshoots in some ways as well#Owain Tudor may have been impressively promiscuous but today the British Isles aren't littered with nearly so many Tudors as Stewarts#And even before the Tudors came on the scene the name was spread across Scotland#Though in both cases surnames can be misleading- Tudor as a Welsh patronymic that might not be associated with the royal dynasty#And Stewart due to the demands of lordship clanship and kinship that meant sometimes tenants took on lords names despite no real link#I'm getting off topic though the point is please stop referring to a separate dynasty like it's a minor branch of the Tudors#It's annoying and inaccurate and just silly
