The Royal Palaces of Tudor England: Architecture and Court Life, 1460-1547 (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in Britis)

After surveying the development of royal residence building, Thurley (chief curator of the Historic Royal Palaces Agency, England) then focuses on the reign of Henry VIII, explaining how and when the king's palaces were used and exploring common myths about the buildings and the kind of life that was led in them. He illuminates early Tudor etiquette, hygiene, religion, government, recreation, cooking, and interior decoration, concluding that this period saw major innovations in both the structure of the court and the form of royal residences.
