Henry VIII was the best athlete and best archer in England as a youth. But, as you likely know, he got a bit round as he aged. Supposedly, there is an entire series of armor, showing the progress of his girth.

I'd like to see that, someday.

My goodness...

Great photos. Not sure I could have worn that type of armour for sure.

Nice colours in these, Neil.

Can you imagine the weight that the armour was? That poor horse!

The picture reminds me of David as a youth trying on the armour he was given to kill Goliath....

Good picture.
