∙ 11y ago
Prince Arthur of Wales (1486 - 1502) the first son of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII's (1491 - 1547) older brother, died on 2 April 1502 at the age of 15. It is not completely clear what he died of, but it may have been consumption (TB). He had already married Princess Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536) on 14 November 1501 - so they were married for only 5 months, but after he died, Catherine eventually became betrothed to Henry (they did not get married until 1509). As Catherine had stated she was still a virgin and that her marriage to Arthur had not be consummated, she had special dispensation to marry her husband's brother, Henry VIII.
