TRAGIC DEATH and burial of Prince Arthur Tudor | What killed Prince Arthur | Grave of Prince Arthur

WHAT KILLED Prince Arthur Tudor, son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York at Ludlow Castle in 1502, where was he buried and what were the immediate effects of his death? This Tudors documentary from History Calling will look at the tragic demise of this 15-year-old Prince of Wales; the boy who was born a symbol of the union of the Houses of York and Lancaster, was named after England’s mythical hero King and who it had been hoped would finally put the Wars of the Roses to bed. Had Arthur lived, he was supposed to inherit the throne and reign with his wife, the Spanish Princess, Catherine of Aragon, to whom he had only been married for less than 5 months, but instead his death upended all his father’s dynastic plans and caused the first big succession upset of a dynasty which would be plagued by them. With Arthur gone his younger brother, Henry, Duke of York, got the throne (and his sister-in-law too) and the princes’ mother died the following year of childbirth complications in a failed effort to replace her lost son.

We’ll look at what we know of Prince Arthur’s final illness, how that illness affected his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, the Prince’s death, his funeral, the multiple places he is interred and at the heart-breaking reaction of the King and Queen upon learning the news. I’ll show you footage and pictures of Ludlow Castle and of the spot in the church in the town where Arthur’s heart is buried.
