Elizabeth wrote about how huge he was and how bad he stunk. Probable diabetic ulcer (an "unhealable" wound in his leg) in addition to, IDK, fat-fold stankrot?

I don't think he bathed much either, since baths were believed to be immoral and spread disease. You can imagine the effect that would have on a 400 pound beast with an "unhealable wound."

People didn't think baths were immoral, but they did think they could make you sick.

I love English history. I have never seen this reference. I knew his leg wound and gout messed with him, but to get to that weight?!
