TUDOR WEEK 2024 Day 3 - Wednesday, 16th of October: Best Tudor What If?

What if Arthur survived his illness and ascended to the throne as King Arthur II?

Rather than dying young, Arthur survived the sweating sickness and continued his life with Katherine of Aragon in Wales. In the seven years that followed, they had two surviving children together, Margret (named for Margaret Pole as well as the prince's grandmother and sister) and Arthur. So as he ascended the throne in 1509 at the age of 22, he already had an heir to continue the Tudor line.
