The mysterious horned helmet of Henry VIII, King of England and Scotland.

Henry VIII ruled the country from 1509 to 1547. Helmet was ordered as a gift in 1511 by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. They were allies. Both joined Holy League (1511–1513), an alliance formed by Pope Julius II to expel France from Apennine Peninsula.

Helmet was made by Konrad Seusenhofer, one of most famous gunsmiths in medieval Europe. It was part of an armor set, but other parts of armor have been lost over time.
