Question

Y r sum eras in British history named after the reigning family (Tudors) + sum after the monarch (Elizabethan)

Answer 1

An English era is only named after a monarch, when the nation had experienced significant historical events during a monarch's reign. The House of Tudor was a "dynasty." A dynasty is a succession of rulers who belong to the same family for generations. A dynasty is also often called a "house." The term "dynasty" is also used to describe the era during which a family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of that period. Insignificant monarchs will only be remembered as King or Queen ruling from the House of Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, and Windsor etc.

The Elizabethan era is the period associated with Queen Elizabeth I's reign (1558–1603) and is often considered to be the golden age in English history. It was the height of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of English poetry and literature.
