I've always been fascinated with Arthur, if only because of the fruitless exercise of wondering what might-have-been. Had this boy grown into a man, we would not have had Henry VIII. One wonders how the Protestant Reformation would have fared in England and how Showtime would have filled its docket without the shenanigans of Bluff King Hal and his Six Wives.

Yes Bunnies! Agreed on all points.
