@claireridgway.bsky.socialWhat on earth was wrong with Henry VIII's legs?
By 1544, they were apparently the "worst legs in the world"!
Jousting injury? Infection? Syphilis?
I've been digging into the evidence.

@5alexander.bsky.socialIn 1596, if you wanted to show off immense wealth, status, and intellect, you commissioned an Astronomical Compendium
Inside its engraved panels sit four separate sundials, a quadrant, latitude tables, and even a miniature astrolabe.

@nicolaharrisauthor.bsky.socialIn 1522, Henry VIll rode in the Shrovetide joust, wearing the motto she has wounded my heart. The event was recorded by Edward Hall and shows the king , using chivalric display to project power and charm at the Tudor court.

@sschronicles.bsky.socialThe indictment says Anne Boleyn committed adultery with Sir Henry Norris at Westminster on 6 October 1533. Court records place her at Greenwich, still confined after Elizabeth's birth the month before. Status: contradicted. #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory

@claireridgway.bsky.socialCan you own a historical theory or idea?
And if two historians independently examine the same sources and reach the same conclusion, has one copied the other?
