Oh, and I'd put Richard Burton in "Anne of the Thousand Days" in a very close second. One of the sexiest, manliest, dreamiest Englishmen ever, and to see him angry and lustful and screaming and vengeful and murderous, even while wearing tights almost all the while... Yummy.

Royal Wedding: £1 wiggly worm spotted in Prince William and Kate Middleton's official wedding photo
A £1 'wiggly worm' toy which made an unplanned appearance in the official royal wedding photographs was bought by Prince Harry to keep the younger bridesmaids happy, the Duchess of Cornwall has revealed.
The bright pink toy is seen clutched in the hand of Camilla's granddaughter, three-year-old Eliza Lopes, in the photographs.
Camilla said: "That was the funniest thing. I can't believe no one has spotted it."
She said Eliza had appeared scared by the noise from the jubilant crowds during the carriage ride from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry, travelling in the same carriage as Eliza, seven-year-old Lady Louise Windsor and eight-year-old page boy Tom Pettifer, had bought the toy in anticipation of Eliza's reaction and pulled it out of his pocket to keep her happy.
Speaking at an event for the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust, in Calne, she said: "I was so worried about Eliza. She is such a lovely little thing and looked so gorgeous in her dress but it was a very big occasion for a child of her age.
"Harry pulled this wiggly worm out of his pocket in the carriage to keep them amused. Eliza loved it so much that she wouldn't let go and it even made the official photographs.

That was a very sexy period -- or "lusty", as they would have said then. Though I expect Burton was a lot more sexy than Henry VIII in real life. ;)

I would agree with you there, Marge. It would certainly take one heck of a man -- monarch or not -- to outdo Mr. Burton in terms of "lusty".
