you must understand that ion the days before proper sanitation, buil;dings used by a lot of people got very smelly rather quickly. In a small household, you could train people and animals to relieve themselves outside. In a large one, where the exit could be a hundred yards from where you happened to be, amd ninety-nine percent of the inhabitants had no pride of ownership, that didn't happen. As in small households, the floors of a palace - except in the grand parade rooms - could be strewn with rushes, which were scraped up and thrown out - complete with dropped litter and food scraps - every couple of months. This, however, was difficult in a busy court. So a nobleman would have more than one house; and a King would have many. Around London alone, Henry VIII had the palaces of Whitehall, Westminster and St. James, not to mention the Tower, with Hampton Court and Windsor not far away. He lived in all of them, and a few more.
