“It is unclear if the armour was intended to be worn by Henry or another. During the 16th century horns were associated with cuckolds or the devil, rendering the armour unsuitable for a royal person, but it might have been worn by Henry as a jest. The armour was used primarily during court pageants.”

I mean this was Henry 7; with six Henrys to go through, it may have started in the Middle ages, but much like Star Wars is a 70’s era movie, it’s been eight movies since it was the 70’s! That first Henry may even have been on the Mayflower!
