tbh I think a lot of the Tudors were actually good looking people regardless of any historical beauty standards. I’m including Henry VIII because of that one portrait you know the one

do you mean this one?

Yes.

The Venetian diplomat Sebastian Giustinian said that Henry was “extremely handsome” and “he had a beard which looks like gold and a complexion as delicate and fair as a woman’s.”

I think he also said that watching Henry play tennis was “the prettiest thing in the world” and something about how shapely his legs were. We stan.

Luther was jelly…he said Henry had a ’whorish face.’
