Prince Arthur, one wonders what would have become of the dynasty should he have survived. He had been prepped to be a great renaissance prince, the very personification of a post-civil war era.
Has anyone visited Ludlow Castle where he played out his final days as a King-in-Training with his wife Catherine of Aragon? A wonderful place as is his tomb in Worcester Cathedral. The chantry in the cathedral in particular is one location I'd implore anyone to try and visit, Tudor magnificence at its best.

My face book banner is a photo of Ludlow castle. I come from Llanllwchaiarn in Montgomeryshire just over the border in Wales, so I have visited Ludlow castle many times. I have done concerts in the Norman Church in the town with London Welsh Male Voice Choir.
The place to have lunch is De Grey's which dates back to the Elizabethan era.

I remember going on a tour of the Tudor house just outside the main gatehouse as well, that was an interesting thing to do. When I went I essentially had Ludlow Castle to myself...perfect

Yes Nathen, I have thought a lot about what would of happened if Arthur had lived or if Catherine had borne a child. That's what makes history so fascinating. I would very much like to visit Ludlow, the castle there and the chantry in Worcester Cathedral. It is on my list to visit next time I'm in England.

The chantry in particular, as I mentioned, is fantastic. To use that old cliche, it's the very image of Tudor Propoganda!
