The trust wants to explore why disabilities have been played down or ignored throughout history
Henry VIII was portrayed as vigorous and energetic but needed mobility aids for much of his lifeA new National Trust film features the little-known stories of disabled people in history - including Henry VIII and a 17th Century soldier dwarf.
It also features Sir Jeffrey Hudson, who was born in Oakham, Rutland, presenting his story through a portrait of him and Queen Henrietta Maria which hangs at Petworth House in Sussex. The university said its Research Centre for Museums and Galleries was asked to collaborate with the National Trust on the project because it had spent 20 years researching disability representation.
