Crown of Henry VIII (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

height

'crown' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'henry viii' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'viii' becomes 'eight' (synonyms).
'h'+'eight'='HEIGHT'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for height that I've seen before include "Dimension from top to bottom" , "part of a patient's statistics?" , "Crowning moment" , "Vertical extent" , "summit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
