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.
