Hermann VIII

15 Nov 2011

Hermann Hreidarsson has been dressing up as Henry VIII as part of PSEF's Get Onboard scheme to make learning more colourful. Hermann said, 'It was very enlightening to be standing on the same spot as Henry VIII when he watched the Mary Rose - and dressed in his clothes, too. I must admit I wasn't aware of Southsea Castle being the exact place, or of the strength of his association with Portsmouth. So in that respect it was a very good history lesson, giving me a greater understanding of both Henry VIII and the history of the city of Portsmouth.'
