I've put together figs of King Henry VIII and his six wives.

Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour:

Anne of Cleves, Katheryn Howard and Catherine Parr:

Although they're not good likenesses of course, I tried to incorporate
something of their features and characteristics; several carry symbols from
their coats of arms (C of A's pomegranate, AB's falcon, JS's castle, KH's
rose). The two that were beheaded for adultery have wench's bodices; Jane
Seymour, who died from complications of childbirth, had the only happy
marriage, so she wears a smile. Anne of Cleves was supposedly ugly but
intelligent, hence the glasses and book. Henry wears the red coat and chain
of his well-known portrait. Hope you like them; comments welcome.
Cheers, Heather

However, for some reason I see the King you created as the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.castle)
