Contrary to popular belief, no English or British monarchs claimed a direct line of ancestry stretching back to Arthur. King Arthur's only son, Mordred, had no issue, therefore there are no living descendants of King Arthur.

They did, however, claim a line of descent stretching back to his sister, Morgause (aka Anna), who was the mother of Tegid, a direct ancestor of the Tudor kings of England and Wales.

Is King Arthur of Camelot the same person as Arthur Tudor?

No. The legendary King Arthur who sometimes holds court at Camelot was the son of Uther Pendragon and is never called a Tudor. There were some other minor King Arthur in Britain several years later, but no one important. As being of Welsh descent and descended from nobility, the Tudors claimed to be heirs of Arthur. This is sometimes misrepresented as a claim that they were descendants of Arthur. However no-one, to my knowledge, as yet substantiated this second claim either from a reputable source or by providing a genealogy that would show how the Tudors were descended from Arthur.

How did King Arthur affect people?

An example would be in the Wars of the Roses. Once Henry Tudor acquired the throne after the 50 years of battles between the House of York and the House of Lancaster, there were still resisters against the Tudor family. The Tudor family argued strongly that could trace their lineage to King Arthur; therefore they had more of a claim to the throne than any family. (I'm writing a whole report on that one question. so don't ask. 5 pages already) In addition to this, the Plantagenet family of the medieval ages also claimed to have been descended from Arthur in order to reinforce their royal blood.


Where was Mordred from?

In the Arthurian legends, Mordred was the son of then-Prince Arthur by his half-sister, Morgause. (Arthur didn't know he had half-sisters; his father King Uther had not revealed this fact.) Mordred was raised in the Orkney islands of far northern Scotland, and when he learned that he was the son - the ONLY son - of King Arthur, he came to Camelot to claim his inheritance and title as prince. Mordred eventually rebelled against King Arthur, and they killed each other at the Battle of Camlan. Some legends say that Arthur and Mordred were about to reconcile and mend their differences. The armies on both sides of the field were alert for any treachery, and one of the knights was bitten by a snake. The knight drew his sword to kill the snake, but the armies on both sides saw the raised sword as a betrayal, and the battle was joined.


Is there really a missing diary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

I do not believe there is a missing diary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There is a novel called 'The Sherlockian' by Graham Moore, which makes this claim, but it is fiction. You might also be thinking of a 'lost' novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle called 'The Narrative of John Smith,' which was published in 2011. The novel was written by Conan Doyle in 1883 when he was a struggling physician/author trying to make a name for himself. Also, published in September 2012 is the diary kept by Conan Doyle on his journey in the arctic as a ship's doctor. Please see the links below.

Were the acts of union for the benefit of England or Wales?

The Tudor monarchs had the flimsiest of claims to the English throne, so Henry VII asserted his right to the throne of England by virtue of being descended from the British King Arthur. Because the Tudor claim to the throne was essentially based on Welsh lineage, it was necessary to the Tudor dynasty to insist that Wales and England were one country. The Acts of Union were not primarily intended for the benefit of England or Wales - they were for the benefit of the Tudors.
