What better way to win the heart of your lady-love than putting on a suit of solid armour, mounting your powerful stallion and charging out onto the tournament field to display your manly prowess?
Tired of getting sand kicked in your face?
Why not send your rivals flying off the backs of their horses in an old-style joust.
Although a champion in his youth, sporting injuries (and maybe a bit of a weight problem?) means that King Henry may have to sit this one out. A good suit of armour is a fighting machine and a fashion statement all rolled into one.
