Was it one of the Edwards that standardized the English measurements?

 

Henry VII applied the Winchester Units but Elizabeth I applied the Exchequer standards from 1588 to 1825. Then Act of Parliament made Imperial units.

Apparently, it was a Henry. I don't know what the conversion rate is for Henries to Edwards. 

Eight kings called Henry. The last one being Henry VIII.

Eight called Edward. The last being Edward VIII who abdicated to marry a divorcee. This was the present Queen's uncle.

Six called George, the last being the present Queen's father.

Four called William. The last being Victoria's uncle.

There has been eight Edwards to eight Henrys, something like.

Correct. However Edward V, Edward VI and Edward VIII all had short reigns. Unlike the kings called Henry who reigned for 9 years at least. That was Henry V. Henry IV reigned for 12 years and the other kings called Henry all reigned for over 20 years.

"Larger than I am comfortable with"! Love it. 

 

I have to wonder, how many T-Rex dinosaurs would they be comfortable with?

 

Depends on where they are.  If they're in, oh, Moscow (Russia, not Idaho), I'd say dozens, maybe even hundreds.
