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's reign might not have
been necessary at all. 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's
subjects, the name alone gave the young prince a great deal to live
up to. Arthur's 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. This book
explores all of these aspects of Prince Arthur's life, together
with his relationship with his brother, and assesses what type of
king he would have been.
