The source used is factually inaccurate in at least one respect. King Henry VI had died in 1471 but it was King Henry VII who had usurped the throne in 1485. The source could be paraphrased so as to give the correct king but a more accurate source for the origin of the term, 'porthole', would be better (if one can be found).-- GrizzlyG ( talk) 22:58, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
King Henry the sixth wanted it done this way, in 1485 ?
Umm no. He was dead quite a long time before that. Lathamibird ( talk) 22:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
