redxluna:history week day 5: one manArthur might not have tried to govern his whole realm too much like southern England, as Steven Ellis has argued Henry VIII did, with dire effects. In that measure at least did his preparation for kingship might have made him a different king not only from his father, who had had spent too long in Brittany to know the realm he had to rule, but also from his brother, who had spent too long in the Thames Valley. In other ways his preparation for kingship seems to have been designed to make him at once a model humanist prince and recognizably his father’s successor.-Prince Arthur’s Preparation for Kingship, Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales: Life, Death and Commemoration.
