Tudor-Tutankhamuns

The premise: Henry VIII of England has a chat with the Turkish ambassador, and decides to solve his marital problems by marrying all 6 wives at once :P

This Costume Con entry cracked me up, but I never did manage to get decent group pictures - so I'm borrowing this one from the GCFCG. Check out the codpiece :D

Brilliant! Although I suspect Catherine Howard wasn't born when he married Catherine of Aragon. Although, that might be another interesting plot point.

Anyone else wonder what the deal was about "Catherines?"

Yep - Catherine Howard was only 16 or 17 when she was beheaded, and Catherine of Aragon died in her 40s or 50s only 7 years or so before that, so yes, having them all in one room might have been tricky ;)

Re: Catherines - Catherine Parr outlived Henry (divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived)

If you're already rearranging history, what's the shuffling of a couple of birthdates? ;-)
