he got it from jousting
Henry VIII injured his leg in a jousting accident therefore he suffered from gout.
he had a jousting accident and damaged his leg so he could not excercise
When Henry VIII was 44 years old (1535), he injured his leg very badly in a jousting accident. The leg appeared to heal, but in a few years it had opened up again and eventually became ulcerated. Because Henry was incapacitated with the bad leg, he was not able to take as much exercise and so became very overweight. This put a great deal of strain on the bad leg. Eventually, both his legs were became ulcerated. This caused him a great deal of pain throughout the rest of his life.
Henry VIII owned a number of churches, not to mention that he was also buried in one when he died of really bad leg ulcers. But in total he owned about 555 churches.
He had gout which he got from jousting which made his leg smell super badly
He died from something happening to his leg. it definitely wasn't from old age because he died at 55.
Oh honey, Henry VIII had more drama than a reality TV show. He did have a leg wound later in life that caused him a lot of trouble. It got infected and probably contributed to his overall health issues.
As a young man Henry was the second son and was prepared for a life in the church. The death of his elder brother Arthur changed the fate of Henry. In his early life he enjoyed physical activites including hunting, hawking, horseback riding, jousting, tennis, archery and wrestling. He was also well educated and intelligent and enjoyed writing and composing music. Henry VIII loved court life with its pageants, dancing and masques. A leg injury incurred whilst he was riding led to a festering ulcer in his leg and considerably reduced his physical exercise in Henry VIII's later life. He gave in to excess in eating and drinking and became a huge, bloated figure
No, Catherine Howard and King Henry VIII did not have any children unfortunately, for both Henry (because he wanted a boy) and Catherine (because she was beheaded, but not for that reason) :) hope that's helpful! :D
28 January 1547 He could have died from a number of reasons. He always ahd an open leg wound on his left thigh from a jousting accident in the 1530's, and the infection and pain could have killed him. Or, more likely, Henry became very obese in his later life, and, along with his leg wound, could hardly walk and needed assistance. Obesity probably killed him. He died in the Palace of Whitehall, on what would have been his father's 90th birthday
In his last years, Henry VIII faced declining health and increasing isolation due to his obesity and ailments, including leg ulcers and arthritis. He became more reliant on his advisors and was preoccupied with securing the succession of his children. His later reign saw the consolidation of the Protestant Reformation in England, along with political maneuvering to strengthen the monarchy. Henry VIII died in January 1547, leaving behind a complex legacy of religious and political transformation.
He was supposed to be good looking and slim in his early years. In his latter years, he had become very obese and suffered from open leg ulcers.
