The legend of King Arthur is important because it serves as a touchstone for the first ideas of equality and democracy within England; the democratic ideals that originated in Athens, Greece wouldn't make their way north to England for many more centuries. According to legend, King Arthur had his most trusted knights sit at a round table, at which no one knight had any more standing than any other - including the king. This was revolutionary thinking, because in feudal England no one was equal to the king.
Prince Arthur was the eldest of Henry VII's children and therefore the future heir to the English throne. Arthur was also married - albeit very briefly- to Catherine of Aragon, the daughter of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille so Henry VII also stood the chance of having a powerful nation like Spain as an ally.
King Arthur released Excalibur sword from stone what was proof he can be the only right king. Arthur also bring a justice and peace into his land. He was much better king than the previous one...his father..Uther Pendragon.
