Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the difference a few years can make. For example, in Tudor history.
King Henry VIII - the king infamous for his 6 wives - actually got through the last 4 in the last 10 years of his life. So much so that it shows a distinct difference in the attitude of the ladies of the court to winning the king's eye and his hand in marriage, as demonstrated by the image below.
True - Henry's size, weight, appearance and temper had all worsened by the time he wed no. 6 but still - that poor woman.
