} [[Category: Persons of National Historic Significance]] [[Category:Aldermen of the City of London]] == Biography == Henry II, the son of Henry I and Lady Barbara Watson, was born in Tamworth, England in the year 1541. The exact date is not known but his baptism is recorded on December 30, 1542 in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. He was a wealthy Londoner, a Liveryman of the Skinners and Tanners (one of the "Great Twelve" Livery Companies from which the Lord Mayor could be chosen), served as alderman in the City of London, and owned property in Stourton, Lincolnshire. After his father died he took over the charter of the Muscovy Company. Henry II traded with Russia, owned several whaling ships and was a contemporary to Sebastian Cabot and Richard Chancellor, who eventually sailed in search of a Northeast Passage to China. He married late in life at the age of 68, on June 11, 1609 to Barbara Alderman. Henry II died in 1635 at the age of 94. He and Barbara had many sons and daughters.http://www.thedomesticcurator.com/2013/12/hudson-genealogy-from-rudolph-to.html The Hudson name dates back to about 1066 in the county of Yorkshire, England and is traditionally believed to be descendants of the Lords of Hoddleston by European genealogists. The Lords of Hoddleston occupied the castle of Millom in Cumberland, on the coast of the Irish Sea. After the fall of the Roman Empire, there was fierce rivalry between the Norman's and the Saxons over Yorkshire and the land around the Rhine Valley. The battle of Hastings (1066) found the Normans as conquerors although the early ancestors of the Hudson family remained. Hudde was a common nickname for Richard, so it appears that the immediate descendants of Sir Richard Hoddleston were known as the sons of Judde (Hudson)The oldest known Hudson Coat of Arms consists of Three Lions in the Rampant position with three boars heads as supporting badges. The symbolism of the lions signifies rearing with strength, courage and loyalty as character traits. The three lions on a coat of arms is very rare and of unknown significance. The boars heads were badges that suggested allegiance to the royal arms of King Richard III. King Richard III utilized boars heads as his identifying badges to signify bravery and perseverance. Possibly, the three lions rampant is significant in identifying with King Richard III also. The arms of Gentleman Henry Hudson are described as "argent, semee of fleurs de lis gules, a cross engrailed sable. The early Hudson colonists in Virginia utilized a variation of this arms to marklivestock, lending credence to the relationship to Henry.

Arch. Soc. 29, 36, 57, 78, 1901-45). Reaney and Wilson state that Hudd was very common and is a pet form of Hugh. == Marriage == : Husband: [[Hudson-792|Henry Hudson]] : Wife: [[UNKNOWN-74466|Barbara UNKNOWN]] : Child: [[Hudson-780|Thomas Hudson]] : Child: [[Hudson-764|William Hudson]] : Child: [[Hudson-777|Edward Hudson]] : Child: [[Hudson-778|Christopher Hudson]] : Child: [[Hudson-775|Henry Hudson]] : Child: [[Hudson-776|John Hudson]] : Marriage: :: Date: 1561:: Place: Staffordshire, England, GBSource: [[#S59]] TMPLT FIELD Name: Page Data: Text: Online publication - Ancestry.com.
