Where is the primary evidence that Henry VIII had red hair? People have this idea of him with carrot-coloured, flame-red hair, but portraits of the time depict him with brown/auburn hair. It looks like it has a reddish undertone in some portraits, but it just looks more brown than red in my opinion.

With Henry VIII being such a dramatic king obsessed with princely magnificence, why did he choose to be buried in St George's Chapel and not in the splendour of Westminster Abbey like the other great English kings?
