The Palace

From the Tudors to the Windsors, 500 Years of British History at Hampton Court

Beschreibung

"Architecturally breathtaking and rich in splendid art and dâecor, Hampton Court Palace has been the stage of some of the most important events in British history, such as the commissioning of King James's version of the Bible, the staging of many of Shakespeare's plays, and Queen Elizabeth II's coronation ball. Accessible, engaging, and unputdownable, The Palace takes us into every room in the castle, revealing the ups and downs of royal history and illustrating what was at play politically, socially, and economically at the time"--
