Prince Arthur
(1486-1502)
Prince Arthur was the eldest son of Henry VII and elder brother
to Henry VIII. The Prince was named after the hero in the
Arthurian legend to emphasise the Welsh connection and to provide
hope for a renaissance of English greatness and also to emphasise
the Tudor link to Wales.
Worcester Cathedral is the final resting place of Prince Arthur,
the elder brother of Henry VIII. On the south side of the
chancel is Arthur's tomb.
