[MR] Henry VIII's 500th/Armour ca. 1500

[Glynis Gwynedd]

Easy. They didn't have high fructose corn syrup or the excess of gluttony
that we have in this day and age. The obesity epidemic didn't really start
until the last century.

For exercise - they'd have practiced. Much like our fighters do. Only they
did it every day, most of the day.

I have no documentation to support my claim other than what I've read - but
I couldn't tell you where I read it, so take it for what it's worth.
