Henry VIII was nearly fatally injured in jousting tournaments, twice. Once in 1524 when a lance struck in him the face, and probably gave him a serious concussion as he had migraines ever afterwards. In 1536 he was knocked from his horse, which was also in full armor, and the horse fell on him. He was unconscious for 2 hours and afterward suffered from an ulcerated leg the rest of his life
Also in the twenty years before his death, his waist size went from something like 32 inches to 54 inches
His gout was so severe, he was on 250 drops of laudanum a day.
