Why does the media seem to shy away from using the word English?
Surely this should have said 'The Tudors ruled during one of the most �famous periods of English history'?

Irrespective of where the Tudors came from the concept of Britain as we know it did not realy exist, Scotland was a separate kingdom altogether untill 1603 when James I (0r VI of Scotland) came to the throne and many of he people of both Ireland & Wales considered that the English were invaders of their countries so as anotheoldgit says it wouldn't be wrong to refer to it as English
The fact remains that Elizabeth 1st was a Tudor Queen of England.
Therefore it is correct to state that 'the Tudors ruled during one of the most famous periods of English history'.
England became a unified state in 927.
The Kingdom of England (including Wales) continued as a separate state until 1 May 1707,
To all those who wish to sweep the country England under the carpet I say read this.

Doesn't it make you proud to be English?

Perhaps the Express's quote should have read,
"The Tudors ruled England during one of the most famous periods of British history."
That would have been a sensible admission that things hadn't just stopped happening elsewhere in these islands of ours. It is claimed, for example, that Henry wasted all of the vast riches he had obtained from the dissolution of the monasteries in England on the "rough wooing" in Scotland.
According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the name, Britain, as Kempie suggested, was first recorded in English in 855 AD whilst that of England dates back only to 890. A millennium earlier, the Greeks and Romans referred to us as Britannia, so there is little doubt as to which is older.
