      at right &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;was written by George Cavendish, Cardinal Wolsey's gentleman-usher.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font size=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Henry VIII was a superb athlete but, as he grew older, his 
      prowess often came at the expense of his health.&amp;nbsp; Historians have 
      speculated that the injuries he suffered may have contributed to his 
      increasingly bad headaches (and correspondingly short temper.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td width=&quot;4%&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;48%&quot;&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;On 10 March the king, having a new armor made to his own design
and fashion, such as no armorer before that time had seen, though to test
the same at the tilt, and ordered a joust for the purpose.&amp;nbsp; The lord
marquis of Dorset and the earl of Dorset and the earl of Surrey were appointed
to be on foot: the king came to one end of the tilt and the duke of Suffolk
to the other.&amp;nbsp; Then a gentleman said to the duke: 'Sir the king is
come to the end of the tilt.'&amp;nbsp; 'I see him not,' said the duke, 'by
my faith, for my headpiece blocks my sight.'&amp;nbsp; With these words, God
knows by what chance, the king had his spear delivered to him by the lord
Marquis, the visor of his headpiece being up and not down or fastened,
so that his face as quite naked.&amp;nbsp; The gentleman said to the duke:
'Sir the king is coming.' &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then the duke set forward and charged with his spear, and the king likewise
unadvisedly set off towards the duke.&amp;nbsp; The people, seeing the king's
face bare, cried hold, hold; the duke neither saw nor heard, and whether
the king remembered his visor was up or not few could tell.&amp;nbsp; Alas,
what sorrow was it to the people when they saw the splinters of duke's
spear strike the king's headpiece.&amp;nbsp; For most certainly the duke struck
the king on the brow right under the guard of the headpiece on the very
skull cap or basinet piece to which the barbette is hinged for strength
and safety, which skull cap or basinet no armorer takes heed of, for it
is always covered by the visor, barbette and volant piece, and thus that
piece is so protected that it takes no weight.&amp;nbsp; But when the spear
landed on that place there was great danger of death since the face was
bare, for the duke's spear broke into splinters and pushed the king's visor
or barbette so far back with the counter blow that all the King's head
piece was full of splinters.&amp;nbsp; The armorers were much blamed for this,
and so was the lord marquise for delivering the spear blow when his face
was open, but the king said that no one was to blame but himself, for he
intended to have saved himself and his sight.
&lt;p&gt;The duke immediately disarmed and came to the king, showing him the
closeness of his sight, and he swore that he would never run against the
king again.&amp;nbsp; But if the king had been even a little hurt, his servants
would have put the duke in jeopardy.&amp;nbsp; Then the king called his armorers
and put all his pieces of armor together and then took a spear and ran
six courses very well, by which all men could see that he had taken no
hurt, which was a great joy and comfort to all his subjects present.&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;    &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
