King Henry VIII’s Turkey Leg
For years, King Henry VIII has been shown in films and television shows as holding a turkey leg in his hand. Even historians got this historical tidbit all wrong, but they swear that there is a portrait of the English king holding a turkey leg. But the truth of the matter is that there is no such portrait. However, this doesn’t negate the possibility that old Henry spent a lot of time eating turkey legs. He just never posed with one for a painting.
