Henry VIII
spent three of his honeymoons at Hampton Court, as did his daughter Mary I when she married Philip of Spain. It was at Hampton Court that Henry VIII was told of the infidelity of Kathryn Howard, which would eventually lead to her arrest and execution (and according to some, why her ghost inhabits the Haunted Gallery.) Henry also married his sixth wife, Katherine Parr, in the Holyday or Queen's Closet at the Palace, adjoining the Chapel Royal.

Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I all stayed at Hampton Court at times during their reigns, although none made and significant additions or alterations to the palace, as their father had. Hampton Court Palace is a magnificent blend of Tudor and Baroque architecture, covering a staggering six acres alongside the River Thames. After confiscating the palace from Cardinal Wolsey, King Henry VIII lived here with some of his many unfortunate wives.
Jane Seymour gave birth to the future King Edward VI at Hampton court. The baby prince was christened in the magnificent Chapel Royal a few days later. Jane fell very ill after Edward's birth and died in the palace only two weeks after giving birth to the new heir.
