Hampton Court Palace Information
The Influence of Cardinal Wolsey
"Wolsey was a man on a rapid rise up the Tudor equivalent of the corporate ladder.
He was soon to become a cardinal and Lord Chancellor of England.
He also held a host of other influential posts Crucially, though, he was also a close friend of the new king, Henry VIII (r 1509-1547).
And would serve as his chief minister for over a decade." (extracts from the palaces website)
Wolsey’s works
Wolsey built a vast palace complex at Hampton Court, transforming a
grand private house into a magnificent bishop’s palace. He added new sumptuous private chambers for his own use, as well as
three suites for the new royal family: one each for
King Henry VIII, Queen Katherine of Aragon and their daughter Princess Mary.
A grand processional route led from all these grand apartments to
an imposing double-height chapel.
