Henry VIII, the famous Tudor king, was extremely obese to the point that he could not wipe his own buttocks, leading him to create the position of 'groom of the stool' for this purpose; he also suffered from a chronic leg ulcer that produced pus and smelled rancid throughout his later life, yet some people believed his touch could cure ailments. During his reign, he executed over 70,000 people and controversially claimed Anne Boleyn had an extra finger to justify his divorce and subsequent excommunication.

Facts about the tudors and Henry viiiAdded:
Henry the VIII was such a large blob that he couldn't wipe his own booty hole when he had to go to the bathroom. So, he created a position for someone to wipe his booty hole cuz he couldn't wipe his own booty hole when he went to the bathroom. And he named that person the groom of the stool. Facts about the Tudors and Henry the VIII. Henry the VIII told everyone that Anne Boleyn had an extra finger. That was probably a lie BECAUSE I DOUBT the man would have left his wife for her. And you know, got excommunicated and you know, started a whole new church to marry her if she had an extra finger, which at this time would have made people think she was a witch. Henry the VIII had over 70,000 people executed during his reign. He was also pretty gnarly dude. He had this giant gash on his leg that just oozed pus and smelled rancid. And he just walked around with it for the latter half of his life. And some people somehow believed that if he just touched them, they would be cured of all ailment. But somehow he couldn't cure his own ailment.
I made that vision.
