Prince Arthur was Henry's older brother. He died shortly after marrying Katherine of Aragon. The young couple had travelled to Ludlow Castle at the end of 1501; in late March 1502, both were struck down with an illness - it could have been the sweating sickness. Katherine survived, but Arthur died.

∙ 11y agoIt's highly unlikely- his older brother Prince Arthur was only 15 when he died in 1502 at Ludlow Castle on the Welsh Border and Henry was only 10, so it's most improbable that Prince Henry killed him.
His death is attributed to either consumption, Diabetes, or the mysterious 'sweating sickness' that plagued the Tudor period and is nowadays thought to be a form of hantavirus. Arthur is buried at Winchester Cathedral.
