Am I the only one stunned that some person in this fucking world in history sacrificed every ounce of dignity to make fucking dick armour for Henry VIII?
That leaves the question: How did this blacksmith know how big the King's crotch area was?

He probably didn't. No doubt he made it intentionally oversized. Just for practicality more than anything.
I've seen that armour and Henry was a surprisingly big guy. Not just his member.
I remember watching some documentary about how the crotch area was the weak point when it came to plate armor and that it was always the first place that was attacked when the opportunity arose. So I dunno, armoring the penis might b gud.

Dude, fears of losing benis aside, the crotch area is a meeting point for major arteries. That gets fucked, it's over for you man.

I can understand that having your genitals still attached to your body is important, but WHY MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS! WHY NOT JUST BE A NORMAL BLACKSMITH AND JUST MAKE IT LIKE A PAIR OF LEGGINGS?
Then again, really, dude cares about his dick, he can get as much dick armour as he wants.

don't say you never tried it

Because "a normal pair of leggings" also had a huge codpiece. Armour quite often mimicked civilian clothing fashion in style.
The crotch area was intentionally made ridiculously large, not just to protect his junk (the most important part since the king needs to produce heirs as a matter of significance to the state), but to emphasise the vitality to everyone. You always respect the guy with the biggest dick (even if he's already the king).

>he's green
He had some kind of general disease, so his codpieces were huge, since small ones put his dick in crazy pain.
