Greetings all within the Tavern -
        I found these articles and pictures on the armour (and amours) of Henry VIII to be
very interesting.  You may agree.  (It's his 500th anniversary.)  Online at
<http://tinyurl.com/cwr2rq> and <http://tinyurl.com/cyudgb>.
        For many other links to His Majesty, and discussion, you may look, if you wish,
where I first found these, at
<http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=514730>.
