Armor for man and horse of Henry VIII from about 1515, on display at the White Tower in the Tower of London. Photo May 2003.
In celebration of the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII’s accession to the throne this week, I went with this picture of armor from early in Henry’s reign. The gold-colored (it’s actually brass) border of the skirt on the human armor are the letters H and K (for Henry and Katherine). This armor is currently part of the Dressed to Kill exhibition at the Tower of London.
I am hoping to go to the Tower of london exhibit this year.the exhibit shows all different suits of armours beloning to the king throughout his reign.Also armoury belonging to other monarchs and nobles at the time.:) nice. 😛
