Best Answer

Henry VII called his first son Arthur because of his weak claim to the throne. It was propeganda due to the Tudor's (Tewdwr's) Welsh origins. When the Vikings invaded England the Britons were pushed into Wales and they supposedly rallied under King Arthur. The myth goes that the Britons would once again rule the Britain and so the choosing of the name Arthur is in memory of the mythical King. This is just one part of a large propeganda campaign by Henry VII after Bosworth to gain support.
