  Henry may have been a Templar  or supporter.  In the ___ Psalter, Henry was
                                        depicted with a beard, while the other subjects  in the same painting were clean shaven. 
                                        According to historians, Templars were required to maintain a beard.  It served as a
                                        method of identification for the order. (Holy Blood HolyGrail, by Baigent, Leigh and
                                        Lincoln.)
