@jockhamish It wasn't Henry VIII who exploded. A simple Google search or a proper history class would serve you better than hearsay, which I'd put money on that you simple can't remember properly anyway.
Sources...yes, a contentious question. The Tudors seem to have got rid of some information that might have led to their occupation of the throne as being dubious..? But times move on, and this period in history was a new and invigorating time. A nice old historian once told me that when Henry's body was lying in state in St Georges Chapel in Windsor inside his coffin,it exploded and spread his entrails all over the place! Check to see if that is true! If he did write the song,then all is good!
@jockhamish It is so difficult to find sources when going so far back, and so many rumors and things get started.
However, if Henry DID nick the tune from someone else, well, he was King, right? Guess when you are a Tudor king you can do just about anything (except have a happy marriage ;>)
George Frederick Handel (17th century) wrote a beautiful harpsichord piece called "The Harmonious Blacksmith". I'm sure it is somewhere here on YouTube! Sounds nothing like Greensleeves though.
@clydesight I read somwhere that the tune Greensleeves may have had its origin at the end of the 15th century in a song called 'The Blacksmith'....Henry 8 was a notorious nicker of other peoples' music!
I like turtles!

What a great bunch of musicians and what a great sound! I wonder what old bully-boy Henry would have thought of French people playing his song?!
