    Henry’s earlier set of armour indicates a weight of around 82 to 91 kilograms (180 to 200 pounds), with a waist measurement of 86 to 91 centimetres (34 to 36 inches). But his very last set of armour showed a waist measurement of a massive 147 to 152 centimetres (58 to 60 inches), meaning the infamous king would have weighed approximately 136 to 145 kilograms (300 to 320 pounds)."Many historians believe his increase in weight was a result of diabetes due to overindulgence. Every day, Henry would enjoy 13 dishes mainly consisting of meat like pork, game, rabbit and even peacocks and swans. He would also glug down 70 pints of ale a week, averaging 5,000 calories a day."

    I've never understood why Henry VIII is considered one of England's greatest kings. As a human, he seems to have been pretty deplorable character. As a king, his most notable accomplishments seem to have been spending loads of money indulging his own hobbies, appetites and vanity, and declaring himself a religious figurehead so he could marry his mistress and line his own pockets. Can someone enlighten me as to what was so "great" about Henry?

      KeepItSimple - yes, Tony had a breast-plate made for him. Near the end of the episode, you will have seen Phil being suited up in a copy of King Henry the 8th’s armour. They chose Phil to be the model for the King’s armour as Phil is the only one who is the same height (6’2”) as King Henry. So, you are both right & wrong.

      I would disagree. Tony said he was one of the greatest not the greatest. Henry is responsible for breaking with the Roman Catholic Church, establishing the Church of England, Fathering Elizabeth the I, promoting the Protestant Reformation (to an extent), curbing the power of the nobility, he was a great humanist scholar, and on and on. He was a great leader despite his flaws, ego, hypochondria, serial husband, narcissistic and murderous tendencies. But he helped to set the stage for England to become the most powerful country in the world.

      Not in hindsight, clearly-- but at the time, when he was young, Henry was literally worshiped by his people and his court. He was not only young and strong, he was apparently very attractive and possessed limitless kingly qualities; he spoke many languages, wrote music and poetry, spent endless amounts of money and jousted like the best of them. His first 15-20 years were seen as a new golden age. It was later in his reign that he really became as bloated, wrathful and murderous as we see him today.

C'mon Tony, you can do better than that! I heard he was king of adultery and died of syphilis which mad him a mad man.
