【倫敦】Tower of London Part 2 - Dressed to Kill 亨利八世盔甲特展 @ il Giardino Romantico

01
"I am King Henry VIII" 『我是英國國王亨利八世』

This is the special exhibition that I had missed out on during my 2009 trip to London. At the time, I didn't think that I would have the chance to see it, even if I could come back to London. But I did. And I considered myself very fortunate.

這就是我2009年離開英國前錯過的特展。當時壓根沒想到即使有機會再來英國還能有機會參觀。所以這次能夠看到特展，實在是超級幸運啊！

King Henry VIII may be the one king that most people are more familiar with (with the exception of George VI after the release of the King's Speech...). This famous/infamous Tudor King who is probably best known for the foundation of the Church of England, and his many unsuccessful marriages. I think it is a bit sarcastic, though, that the King who had sent so many traitors to be locked and/or beheaded here, now has an exhibition of his armours in this very same place.

亨利八世應該是大家最不陌生的國王了吧（除了王者之聲的喬治六世之外...）大家對這個非常名聲響亮的都鐸王朝國王的認知或許是因為英國國教的成立，也或許是因為他那多次不順利的婚姻。天仙個人是覺得，一個不知道關了多少所謂的叛徒進倫敦塔最後也不知道在這裡砍了多少叛徒的頭，最後自己的盔甲展卻也是在這裡展出其實還蠻諷刺的。

But I don't think I should waste any more time on the history, and deprive you the joy of enjoying this special exhibition - 'Dressed to Kill.'

不過歷史課上完了，現在就來認真看特展：『Dressed to Kill』
