Also one of their most famous tourist destinations is a [pile of rocks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge).
   * **In the Middle Ages:** The notorious British King [Henry VIII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII) had six wives (beheaded ~~one~~ two) and was known for wearing a [codpiece](https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/a-brief-history-of-the-codpiece-the-personal-protection-for-renaissance-equipment).
