Meeting King Henry II in Warwick castle, England

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing good! I guess not me because I am still suffering from colds and a bit cough since Thursday night. I might visit the doctor tomorrow for proper medication. Before I sign-off tonight, let me share this photo I had with King Henry II inside Warwick Castle in England. All of these figures are made of wax excluding me..wink!
Henry II, called Curtmantle (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189) ruled as King of England (1154–1189), Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, Count of Nantes, Lord of Ireland and, at various times, controlled parts of Wales, Scotland and western France. Henry was the first of the House of Plantagenet to rule England and was the great-grandson of William the Conqueror. Henry was the first to use the title "King of England" (as opposed to "King of the English.")
