Summary:
"
Hampton
Court
Palace
has been a locus of monarchy, revolution, religious fundamentalism, sexual scandals, and military coups. In this rich and vivid
history
, Gareth Russell moves through the rooms and the decades, in each chapter focusing on a different person who called
Hampton
Court
their home. Beginning with the
Tudors
, Russell takes the reader from the bustling kitchens of Henry VII and the unfulfilled dreams of Anne Boleyn to Elizabeth I's brush with death and the staging of Shakespeare's plays. This is the place where the King James Bible was commissioned, Oliver Cromwell's victories over the crown were celebrated, and the many mistresses of Charles II vied for favor. The gossip and feuds of Georgian aristocrats gave way to the era of the
Windsors
, when
Hampton
Court
was the magnificent setting for Elizabeth II's coronation ball and the hiding place of the last Tsar's sister. Fascinating and engaging, The
Palace
is as atmospheric as it is entertaining. By capturing the stories of the many sovereigns and servants who lived and worked in its halls, it reveals the personal tragedy and political importance of this extraordinary place" --Publisher.
