- When he died in 1547 Henry VIII had more than 60 houses,
Hampton Court Palace was the most sumptuously decorated. The palace
was one of the most modern, sophisticated and magnificent in
England. There were tennis courts, bowling alleys and pleasure
gardens for recreation, a hunting park, kitchens covering 36,000
square feet, a fine chapel, a vast communal dining room (the Great
Hall) and a multiple garderobe (or lavatory). All of Henrys six
wives came to the palace and most had new and lavish lodgings. The
King rebuilt his own rooms at least half a dozen times. The palace
also provided accommodation for a large number of courtiers,
visitors and servants. Henry used Hampton Court to impress.

- LIFE AT COURT The court was a great place for Henry to show how
rich and important he was. This would make people from other
countries see him as very powerful. It would put off people from
plotting to take his throne. All the activities at court were
planned to show Henry's talents and interests. So the court was a
centre for art, music, dance, poetry and tournaments. The court was
the most fashionable place in the land. Henry had artists and
musicians at court. Hans Holbein was the court painter by 1536. He
may have painted as many as 150 portraits of the king, his wives
and family and courtiers. Holbein also designed furniture,
jewellery, buttons, buckles and the king's state robes.

- LIFE AT COURT Courtiers were the richest and most important
people in the country. They had to be rich to come to court. They
would need to give the king presents that cost a lot of money. They
had to wear expensive clothes made from silk, velvet and lace. They
were often decorated with jewels, embroidery and fur. Courtiers and
royalty moved in a stiff way. Courtiers wanted to be near the king
because it was a chance to be noticed and to make a good
impression. In return, they might get jobs and titles for their
family and friends. When Catherine Parr married Henry, her uncle,
William was made a baron. The rewards at court were great if you
had friends in high places. All Tudor kings and queens chose their
servants from those who were closest to them. This is why the court
was the centre of power.
- Slide 7
- LIFE AT COURT Life at court was not safe. Henry had complete
power over his servants and ministers. If they upset him or did not
obey him, he would punish them. Sometimes people were put to death.
The court was often the centre of secrets and squabbles between
courtiers. Everyone wanted to be in favour with the king. Courtiers
had their own rooms in Henry's palaces. They brought their own
servants with them who often had to make do with sleeping in the
corridors. When Henry stayed at Hampton Court, up to a thousand
people attended court. Hampton Court had three large kitchens.

61 Issue: 82011 At Hampton Court Palace there is a beautiful
painting dating from 1545 that shows Henry VIII with his long-
dead, favourite wife, Jane Seymour, his son Edward and his
daughters Mary and Elizabeth. There are two other figures,
strikingly framed by the two archways in the wings. One is a man in
red hose with cropped ginger hair, who has a monkey poised to check
his head for lice. He can be identified as William Somer, the kings
fool. The bald woman on the left, whose attention has been gripped
by something in the distance, is probably Jane the Fool, fool to
Anne Boleyn, Princess Mary and Katherine Parr, Henry VIIIs sixth
and actual wife at the time. Their inclusion in this royal dynastic
portrait suggests that fools had a distinct, privileged and vital
role to play at the Tudor court.
