Hope that roof had some sturdy timbers beneath it. He tested the structural integrity by walking on the roofs.

I think that was William the Conquerer whose body exploded in his coffin. And... ewwwwwwwwSo everybody there said "That's old Billy Boy all over"?
I hadn't heard this particular anecdote.

The Tudor period is fascinating. Only because of the gift for government of the Henry's and Elizabeth's brilliance did England not fight it's Civil War at this time.

Would you agree that a man 6’1” and 53/52 would be a great deal more than 280? 6' tall and 255. I have a 42" waist and 50" chest.
I would guess that an inch in height and 10" of belly girth would add more than 25 pounds to my weight.
