Henry VIII’s England has long been seen as an exclusively white society. Its remains were recovered in 1982 and are now housed in the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth. The complete skeleton of a crew member, nicknamed ‘Henry’ by the divers who found it, was among those to be analysed. An image of what ‘Henry’ looked like will feature in the museum’s Many Faces of Tudor England exhibition, which opens on Monday. The Skeletons of the Mary Rose is to be shown on Channel 4 at 8pm on Sunday.
