Their small size suggests that they may have been intended as swivel guns.

Wondering if the VIII stands for the size and HF is the manufacturer or iron foundry….

This is probably another statement of the bl**ding obvious, but they have a naval\maritime look about them.
Regards Richard PS. and not very well cast. |

This was also my thought, even when I got them from a castle nearby in south Germany….

The join between the barrel and the trunnions looks a lot like a corroded arc welding bead, I'd think a mould pattern would have a smoother transition. I don't think Heinrich VIII had any arc-welders.
