For today's Advent treat, I'm sharing this Teasel's Tudor Trivia video from a few years ago. It's about Henry VIII and what he used to help him read as his eyesight worsened with age.

You can find out even more about this topic in a longer talk I did - click here - where I also share excerpts from Henry VIII's inventory.
