Henry VIII
A Venetian Diplomat in 1515 describes Henry VIII
''The Handsomest potentate I ever set me eyes upon: above the usual
height, with an extremely fine calf to his leg, his complexion very fair
and light, with auburn hair...and a round face so very beautiful that it
would become a pretty woman, his throat being rather long and thick''
Henry VIII is sat on his throne. Surrounded by his royal aides.
HENRY: (booming) SERVANT!
A young servant man scurries around the corner.
SERVANT: Yes my lord?
HENRY: I was just talking with the guys (pointing to his associates)
They all look nervous.
HENRY: Depending on what you say to me now, my good servant man..depending on what your answer will be to my question, you may continue your wonderful life my good servant. You may enjoy the fruits of the world God has left us and the all the treasures of life. Or depending on the answer you give me now my good servant man, may your head be lost in the pits of hell forever!
The servant trembles with fear at what this life changing question will be.
HENRY: My good servant...Do you think I'm Sexy?
The royal aides eyeball the servant, knodding.
SERVANT: (beat) Definitely...100% YES! (beat) definitely.
