This picture is in the Henry VIII Banqueting Hall at Leeds Castle. The hall was created for the visit of Catherine of Aragon on 22nd May, 1520 when he was on route for Dover to embark for Henry’s historic meeting with Francis I of France, known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
Fashion has certainly changed a lot since Henry’s day

Leeds Castle — aaah, memories! I visited there once a long time ago… it really is a beautiful place indeed!
It was my first visit and I enjoyed it very much.
Ah yes, tights and jerkins and floor length velvet gowns. . . I wonder if they will ever come back the way bell bottoms and mini skirts did?
Nice picture, too!

Lets hope they don’t come back in, it looks very uncomfortable to me.
Thank goodness fashion has changed – I wouldn’t like to walk around in that lot!
BTW I can’t post on the photohunt site – can you?

My husband did win the codpiece competition once when we went to a Medieval dinner
I think I better not make a comment…
Thank goodness fashion has changed – Ol’s Henry’s outfit does NOT look comfortable.
I think it would be rather heavy to wear too.
Can you imagine that coming back again?
No I can’t…
A unique choice for the theme. Well caught Cherie
