For almost 200 years, Hampton Court Palace was at the main centre of politics, English court life, and national history. Its most scandalous occupant was Henry VIII.

I don't attempt to duplicate in any detail here. The official Hampton Court site, (interface underneath) is a decent beginning spot for precise material. Find the grandness of Henry VIII's favourite illustrious living arrangement.
