It’s like Where’s Wally in the depiction of the Field of the Cloth of Gold on display at Hampton Court. See how many Henry VIII’s you can spot. I count three #tudor #tudors #henryviii #fieldoftheclothofgold

I love the painting depicting the Field of the Cloth of Gold at Hampton Court. It’s like Where’s Wally trying to spot all the Henry VIII’s. Here he is, greeting Francis I. He is also depicted in the same painting in a horseback procession & watching jousting #henryviii #fieldoftheclothofgold #tudor

#OTD 9 Jun 1520

At the #fieldoftheclothofgold a joust was held but the 2 Kings would not compete against each other

However #HenryVIII challenged François to a wrestling match but who won?
