As a rather scientifically orientated guy I'm not normally disposed to playing around with words. However I thought I might submit to the reader here my lighter account of the fortunes of Henry Tudor, which features the various anagrams of his name, which I came up with by doodling around with a pencil and paper.
The anagrams of Henry Tudor are highlighted below in bold italics.
The Adventures of Theo R Nurdy
As we all know,in the spring of 1483,no sooner had Edward IV died than one Mr Theo R Nurdy jumped down off his perch and quickly got up to his opportunistic capers (hurry,no Ted). Not that this went particularly well for him at first. During the Buckingham rebellion he was sent packing, but no doubt his ego got him over it before long (o,the dry run).
After that, it took him another 2 years to have another go (e don't hurry). But even when he finally won at Bosworth he was so creepy that in "The Black Adder" he still hid in yonderr hut.
When he finally got here, he took a creeping fancy to Elizabeth, our healthy Yorkist heiress, (horny turde), and then used her to keep his crown, despite the alarmingly junior nature of his bloodline, and people were so shocked by his weak disposition, and pondered this so greatly, that they set up a new subject--- Nurd Theory.
Elizabeth must have been shocked by the arrangement; after all, in terms of right and wrong, it can have been neither her inclination nor her duty to just be consort while he ruled.
But it wasn't all bad--- in his reign our trendy H saw many fashions change, and voyages of discovery proved that the worlds in the universe are not flat-- they r round!
But in the end, the monarchy paid the price of the unwelcome intrusion of his weakling genes into the healthy Yorkist bloodstock--- in the form of the infertile Tudors. O, runty herd!

You know, on an only slightly more serious note, some of these anagrams can be a bit spooky. For example, in ancient times 'rude' was another word for 'red', and of course Tudor's original emblem was the red rose of Lancaster. Rude thorny is another anagram of Henry Tudor.
