Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is native to India and are extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions.
Long pepper (Piper longum) is native to Java
Javanese long pepper or Balinese long pepper(Piper retrofractum)is native to Java.
All three were known to, and used by the Romans and there is evidence that Long pepper reached Greece in the sixth or fifth century BCE.
Thus as 'pepper' was known to the ancient world, its import to Tudor England would have been via the silk/spice roads from the far east and India, through the Middle East and on ships to England.
Chilly peppers (and tomatoes, tobacco and potatoes) of course came to England/Europe from the new world (the Americas) when trade with these opened up during Tudor times.
