Strangely enough we have no evidence that Henry IV wore one

I feel quite bad for Henry IV Ik he was a usurper and all but it was from a particularly shit king in Richard II. Then it was just rebellion after rebellion and when it began to settle a bit he became ill.

Still a good king for what he had to face, probably smack bang in the middle of the king Henry’s, rip.

my man🥲.

Not very fun being an invalid for the last 8 years of his life.

happy for him that it seems like he and his eldest son made up at the end.

His heir stopped trying to make him abdicate

I always thought Harry is a short form of,or atleast derived from,the Anglo Saxon name "Harold"(not British) lol

Understandable! In Wales we call them Hari, I only found out Henry VIII was called Henry once I left education
