Henry VIII used his very own 'stairthrone'
Henry VIII is perhaps best known for his six wives and founding the Church of England.
But a leading academic has revealed that the bloated Tudor monarch has another claim to fame: inventing the stairlift.
David Starkey, well known for his TV documentaries on historical royals, discovered that Henry VIII used a bespoke 'stairthrone' during research.
Described in royal records as 'a chair...that goeth up and down', the stairlift is thought to have been operational at Whitehall Palace in London where it would have hauled the King up a 20ft staircase.

Stairlift conman targets woman, 81
A KIND-hearted pensioner made a cup of coffee for a visitor - who then he stole her money.
The 81-year-old woman invited the conman, who wore a hard hat and hi-visibility jacket, into her home on Derbyshire Lane West, in Stretford, after he claimed to have an appointment to fix her stairlift.
He asked for a drink and she made him a cup of coffee, which he drank and left, saying he would return to 'sort' the equipment.
She later realised he had taken cash from the living room while she was in the kitchen.
Police say the conman was white, aged 30 to 40, 6ft and slim. He was clean-shaven.
Pc Stuart Foy said: "The man clearly tricked his victim into believing that he was genuine and left her his victim feeling cheated.
"We are appealing to anyone with information that could help us. Maybe there are other people who have been approached by a man who can seemingly talk his way into people's houses."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 7635 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
Elderley couple use stairlift to tackle burglars
AN elderly man used his stairlift to get upstairs to tackle a burglar who was ransacking his home. Jack and Edie Pearson of Manor Drive, Great Gonerby, were at home last Wednesday when thieves struck. One posed as a waterboard official to create a diversion while the second broke into the house through a back window.
Mrs Pearson, 86, answered a knock at the door at about 5.40pm and a man in his twenties burst into the kitchen to turn on the taps.
Mrs Pearson said: "He told me all the taps had to be switched on or there would be a great big burst. I told him I didn't believe him and that I was going to ring the police.
"He told me that I should leave the taps running and that he'd be back again in ten minutes.
"We were in the kitchen and we heard someone walk across the bedroom upstairs."
Mr Pearson, 88, used his stairlift to get upstairs to tackle the burglar, but the thief slid down the banister and ran out of the property.
Drawers had been emptied and beds overturned in the property as the burglar hunted for cash.
All that was stolen was £40 from Mr Pearson's wallet.
The thieves left footprints around the property. One of the thieves left a bloodstain on a wall in the property, which police hope will result in a DNA match.
Mrs Pearson said: "The police said these people are the scum of the earth.
"I don't mind speaking to the Journal about it if it will stop a burglary somewhere else. It was a frightening experience.
"We'd like to thank police, our neighbours and the council for all the help we've had."
Information: Lincolnshire Police on 01476 402222 quoting incident 299 of December 10.
