Arthur I (1187-1203) of England was the posthumous son of Geoffrey, second son of Henry II of England. Arthur was the rightful heir to the throne but his uncle John usurped it. Arthur was captured and John had him imprisoned at Rouen, in France, where he died April 3, 1203. It was said that John had Hubert de Bourg put out Arthur's eyes. Accounts also say that Hubert was very protective of Arthur, and, as seen here in this illustration by Edward Dalziel, stood between him and John's henchmen sent to bring harm to Arthur. This drawing accompanied Charles Dickens' account of the tale in his book ""A Child's History of England."".
