How many palaces did Henry VIII own?
Henry VIII owned over 60 palaces, castles, and royal houses. It's hard to determine the exact number of palaces because that depends on your definition of 'palace' which can vary throughout history. A look through his properties show that he probably had 14 properties that were definitely considered palaces, as opposed to castles, manor houses, or hunting lodges.Only two palaces he owned still exist today: Hampton Court Palace and St. James's Palace. Some of the palaces that were most important to him include:Whitehall Palace, which was used as the main residence of the monarchs in London from the 1530s until it was destroyed by fire in 1698. Henry VIII married both Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour here and died at Whitehall in 1547.Nonsuch Palace, which was built by Henry VIII in Surrey beginning in 1538. Construction had not been completed when he died in 1547. The palace was destroyed in 1682 and no trace of it remains today.Hampton Court Palace which was built for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in 1514 and taken over by Henry VIII in 1529. It is one of the two palaces still standing today.Greenwich Palace (also known as Placentia), where Henry VIII was born in 1491. His daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I were both born at Greenwich and he married Anne of Cleves there in 1540.St. James's Palace was commissioned by Henry VIII in 1531. It is still the official residence of the Sovereign and the most senior palace in the United Kingdom. Two of Henry's children died there - the illegitimate Henry FitzRoy and Mary I.Eltham Palace in Eltham is where Henry VIII spent his childhood and is where he met (and really rather impressed) the famous scholar, Erasmus. This is where the Tudors often spent Christmas.Palace of Beaulieu (also known as New Hall) dates back, in various forms, to 1062. Henry VIII bought the palace from Thomas Boleyn, the father of his second wife Anne Boleyn, for £1000 in 1516; he rebuilt the house in brick and renamed it Beaulieu. It figures heavily into the politics of his divorce from Katherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne Boleyn.Oatlands Palace in Surrey was acquired in 1538 and was rebuilt for Anne of Cleves. He then married Catherine Howard in 1540. His daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I both stayed there.Other palaces (again, those that are specifically named or referred to as palaces) that Henry VIII owned include Knole House, Otford, Woodstock, Woking, Esher, and Penshurst.
