Sudentur, was Randall Cook of Northpass, was Avraham (see below :-) ) said:

I had thought Avraham was Jewish and wondered whether Randall would be and
if so, whether that would be a problem in Tudor England.

If you haven't checked it out, there is a very good name resource site
put together by some of the SCA heralds, called St. Gabriel and another
by Arval:

This Florilegium might be of use if you are thinking about some period
academic attire:

I don't know if you've looked at this file, but perhaps it might be
of some help, although you seem to like the idea of Tudor men's clothing.
If your concern is making the Tudor garb, remember that the lower
the class, generally the easier the garb is to make.
