[Picture: The Horse Armory]
The Horse Armory is a large apartment, containing, amongst many
curiosities, seventeen of the kings of England on horseback, in the suits
of armour they had each worn. Most of this armour is very rich, and
beautifully ornamented. The furniture of the horses is of velvet, laced
with gold.
There is a suit of armour belonging to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster,
which is seven feet high; and another made for Henry the Eighth, when
sixteen years old, which is six feet in height.
