‘During the early part of the sixteenth century England should have been ruled by King Arthur Tudor, not Henry VIII. Had the first-born son of Henry VII lived into adulthood, his younger brother Henry would never have become King Henry VIII. The subsequent history of England would have been very different; the massive religious, social and political changes of Henry VIII\u2019s reign might not have been necessary at all.<\/p>\n
In naming his eldest son Arthur, Henry VII was making an impressive statement about what the Tudors hoped to achieve as rulers within Britain. Since the story of Arthur as a British hero was very well known to all ranks of the Crown\u2019s subjects, the name alone gave the young prince a great deal to live up to. Arthur\u2019s education and exposure to power and responsibility, not to mention his marriage to a Spanish princess in Catherine of Aragon, all indicate that the young prince was being shaped into a paragon of kingship that all of Britain could admire.<\/p>\n
This book explores all of these aspects of Prince Arthur\u2019s life, together with his relationship with his brother, and assesses what type of king he would have been.’<\/p>\n
