On this day in 1486 Prince Arthur Tudor was born. Henry VII called his son Arthur after he was able to trace his lineage back to the ancient kings of Britain and thought that calling his son after the once and future king would evoke a new sense of patriotism in Britain, which would be attached to the Tudor dynasty and usher in a new golden age. Arthur would never be king as he died at 15 years of age, leaving his younger brother, the future Henry VIII (he of 6 wives fame), the heir to the throne. Arthur is now regarded as an unlucky name for a king, along with Charles, so the current Prince of Wales, Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor, has made it perfectly clear that he wishes to be crowned as George VII.
