Stegosaurus had plates down its spine but was otherwise unarmored, so I really don't think "heavily-armored" applies to it (nor do "lumps of bone"). And it had a standard-issue tapering tail, definitely not a clubbed tail, and the pieces of bone on the tail were not similar to those on the body. 2 for Jeffrey > Their kings initially ruled but later became figureheads while the > real power was held by their mayors of the palace; Charles Martel > was one of these.
