That most Tudor of lurgies, the sweating sickness or “English sweate” usually came fast and hard, often claiming its victims within 24 hours which is inconsistent with the weeks that Arthur and Catherine spent ill. Arthur’s death doesn’t fit with the known outbreaks of the disease which usually struck in great epidemics and its typical casualty was...
Another great epidemic to frequently blight Tudor England, the Great Plague of 1499-1500 was over, but localised outbreaks were still being recorded – this could well match reports of “a great sickness” in the Ludlow area. This view was echoed by the Spanish chronicler Andres Bernaldez in his history of Catherine’s parents, Ferdinand and Isabella, ...
Fitting the Spanish description of a weak and frail prince is tuberculosis, also known as consumption, which could explain his inability to consumate the marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Night sweats are also a feature of tuberculosis, which could have been confused for the Sweating Sickness by later writers. If this was the cause there’s more grim...
This doesn’t fit with the simultaneous illness of Catherine of Aragon, nor the description of “a malign vapour which proceeded from the air” which suggests a real belief in something contagious, but it could also explain Arthur’s inability to fulfil his martial duties. Impotence would also explain the differing accounts that later surfaced in Henry...
Not in the least a credible, but it’s a claim posited by gossips literally every time a king or prince passes away unexpectedly.
Another possible cause of long-term weakness. It’s worth noting that Henry VIII may have suffered from untreated Type II diabetes (explaining, among other things, his mood swings), which can occur in those who are genetically predisposed it – there’s also some speculation that diabetes could have led to the demise of Henry Fitzroy and not consumpti...
What if the “great sickness” wasn’t Bubonic Plague or Sweating Sickness, but influenza? It was prevalent in Tudor England and fits with the description of Arthur’s feverish epidemic, and certainly one that could finish off someone already weakened by diabetes, tuberculosis or cancer, while the healthy Catherine pulled through.
Like influenza this a strong possibility in conjunction with tuberculosis or diabetes) when you consider the repeated descriptions of the harsh winter, torrential spring and the draughty castle at Ludlow. It’s worth noting that Edward VI – Arthur’s nephew – died of what is now believed to be a suppurating pulmonary infection, effectively a chest in...
6 days ago · Within this reign, we find the ‘forgotten prince’: Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, the subject of this collection of essays edited by Steven Gunn and Linda Monckton.

The catalyst for the volume was a re-enactment of Prince Arthur's funeral on 3 May, 2002 - an event intended to mark the quincentenary of Arthur's burial at Worcester cathedral in 1502. Arthur was just 15 years old when he died, suddenly and of an unidentified illness at Ludlow.
