    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;48%&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFE8&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The first 
      account listed at right was taken from a contemporary herald's report, 
      first published in 1715.&amp;nbsp; The second account was written by Tudor 
      citizen Richard Grafton.&amp;nbsp; Its spelling has been modernized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Arthur was the eldest son of King Henry VII and Elizabeth 
      of York.&amp;nbsp; He was born on 20 September 1486, barely a year after the 
      pivotal battle of Bosworth Field, and died on 2 April 1502.&amp;nbsp; Arthur 
      was indeed named after the mythical King Arthur; Henry VII was Welsh and 
      the legend was popular in medieval England.&amp;nbsp; In fact, it was 
      generally believed at the time that Winchester was built upon the ruins of 
      Camelot.&amp;nbsp; And so Elizabeth of York was sent to Winchester to give 
      birth and Arthur was christened at its cathedral.&amp;nbsp; He was titled 
      Prince of Wales (and was the first to receive the title) when he was 3 
      years old.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Negotiations for his marriage to Katharine of Aragon, 
      daughter of the famous Ferdinand and Isabella, began in 1488.&amp;nbsp; The 
      terms were settled in 1500 and the couple were married in London on 14 
      November 1501.&amp;nbsp; They journeyed to Ludlow Castle, the traditional seat 
      of the Prince of Wales, and established a small court.&amp;nbsp; However, 
      Arthur died suddenly on 2 April 1502, possibly of tuberculosis.&amp;nbsp; The 
      two accounts at right record his parents' reaction to the news.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td width=&quot;4%&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;48%&quot;&gt;When his Grace [Henry VII] understood that 
      sorrowful heavy tydings, he sent for the Queene [Elizabeth of York], 
      saying that he and his Queene would take the painful sorrows together.&amp;nbsp; 
      After that she was come and saw the Kyng her Lord, and that naturall and 
      paineful sorrowe, as I have heard saye, she with full great and constant 
      comfortable words besought his Grace that he would first after God 
      remember the weale of his own noble person, the comfort of his realme and 
      of her.&amp;nbsp; She then saied that my Lady his mother had never no more children 
      but him only, and that God by his Grace had ever preserved him, and 
      brought him where he was.&amp;nbsp; Over that, howe that God had left him yet a 
      fayre Prince, two fayre Princesses and that God is where he was, and we 
      are both young ynoughe. &lt;br&gt;
      ....Then his Grace of true gentle and faithful love, in good hast came and 
      relieved her, and showed her howe wise counsell she had given him before, 
      and he for his parte would thanke God for his sonn, and would she should 
      doe in like wise. &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;hr&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;When
the king by his high policy had completed his alliance with Spain in this
way, there suddenly came a lamentable mischance and loss to the king, queen
and all the people.&amp;nbsp; For that noble prince Arthur, the king's first
begotten son, after he had been married to the Lady Catherine for five
months, departed this transitory life at Ludlow on 2 April 1502. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With great funeral obsequies he was buried in the cathedral church of
Worcester.&amp;nbsp; After his death the name of prince belonged to his brother
the duke of York, since his brother died without his issue, and so without
being thus created he ought to be called, unless some apparent cause was
a let or obstacle to it.&amp;nbsp; But the duke, suspecting that his brother's
wife was with child, as was thought possible by the expert and wise men
of the prince's council, was by a month or more delayed from his title,
name and pre-eminence, in which time the truth might easily appear to women.
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;It is reported that this lady Catherine thought and feared such an unhappy
chance might come, for when she had embraced her father and taken leave
of her noble and prudent mother, and sailed towards England, she was continually
so tossed and tumbled hither and thither with boisterous winds that what
with the raging of the water and the contrary winds her ship was prevented
many times from approaching the shore and landing.&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/table&gt;
