A man has bizarrely claimed King Henry Vlll's sandals could be Greggs steak bakes, which could make him a time traveller.
The Twitter user, Luke from Manchester, posted a picture of the former king's portrait and pointed out his footwear - which bore a striking resemblance to a steak bake.
Luke questioned if the 16th-century portrait proved the king travelled to the future to visit the British bakery.
In his tweet, he wrote: "Why do Henry VIII’s shoes look like a Greggs steak bake?”
The bakery chain was amused at the discovery.
In a tweet, it replied: “Losing our heads over this.”
The tweet has almost 600 retweets and more than 3,000 likes, and left many wondering whether the claims were true.
One user cleverly wrote: "ahhh choux pastry"
While another commented: "Because they are, needs to keep those toes warm during winter."
Another commented: "On another note - ciabatta (bread) translates to slipper. This has been going on a long time
One user debunked the claims he wore steak bakes and said: "Bro that's cheese and onion. Get a grip."
While another user said: "Because, and not many people know this, Henry VIII's feet were delish!!!"
Greggs is the biggest bakery chain in the UK, selling an estimated 1.5million sausage rolls each week - that's 145million every year.
The second Tudor monarch ruled from April 21, 1509, until his death on January 28, 1547.
He was infamous for his six marriages and his removal of the Catholic Church's authority in England.
