During the early part of the 16th century England should have been ruled by King Arthur Tudor, not Henry VIII. Had the first-born son of Henry VII, Arthur, Prince of Wales (1486-1502), lived into adulthood, his younger brother Henry would never have become King Henry VIII. The subsequent history of England would have been very different; since the massive religious, social and political changes of the 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. This book explores the aspects of Prince Arthur's life, together with his relationship with his brother and assesses what type of king he would have been.
