Henry the VIII's Armor



I am speaking at the boys home this weekend and I was looking for some visuals to go along with my talk - Putting on the Full Armor of God. I saw this and I was like PERFECT! Then I looked closer and I said - "What? what is that?"

So do you see it? Does that look normal?

Maybe riding his horse caused his private parts to become swollen.

Thus, the need for the bulging metal.

A mans "privates" is sometimes seen as the most important part of a males body. Therefore you shall protect it with extra strength, durability, and purhaps some boldness to catch the enemies eyes has he is being attacked. The enemy will never know what hit him! DISTRACTION IS THE KEY TO WINNING!

I'm thinking less a distraction and more of a target. (And we thought the nipples on the batsuit were bad.)

Actually, that part of a suit of armor is known as a "Codpiece." Henry was extremely vain and had his made specially to enhance that area to a larger size than any other codpiece in the kingdom. Kind of like not sitting higher than the king, you were not allowed to wear a larger cup than Henry!

Thanks Eric, that is good to know.

Testosterone plus the need for protection, I suppose.

All I can say is that that cup would have come in handy when I was in Junior High at a National Youth Sports Camp and got smacked in the testies by a soccer ball. My guess is that this was Henry's soccer uniform.

and really is it even possible for "nuts" to ride shotgun, I think that would make driving very difficult

Eddo said...

I can't imagine wearing this armor and trying to ride a horse... but maybe back then the saddles were different.

2:08 PM  
Katie said...

and another thing . . . . can the phrase "nut up" be used in the context of that armor?
