  • Arthur came to a throne which was precarious at best. The two preceding monarchs had in their own ways damaged almost to the point of no return the position of the Welsh monarch in the hearts of the Welsh people. He came to power in the last year of the 50's a young 20 year old man. The funeral of his mother, whilst lavish and colourful was an event which held little resonance outside of Caerdydd. His own coronation in 1960 would again see a colourful, televised event which on the surface appeared to be a popular event. Outside of Royal circles and outside the capital, however, republicanism still held sway. By the end of his short reign in contrast to his mother his own funeral in 1982 would be an event commemorated throughout the kingdom and the coronation of his eldest son Llywelyn would be an event celebrated with enthusiasm. The path through which his reign moved covers Wales entry and participation in the Vietnam war, the return of the Communists to power in the 1970's, rising tensions with the Americans as well as rising tensions with the British State.
