Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a vivid account of the ancient Palace of Westminster, from its origins as a religious foundation, through its transformation into a royal residence, and up to the reign of Edward I. The narrative is based on extensive archival research, including previously unpublished records, and offers a fresh perspective on the historical evolution of this iconic building. The author skilfully interweaves architectural descriptions with social and political context, shedding light on the changing fortunes of England's monarchy and the development of courtly life. The book explores the palace's role as a stage for both grand ceremonies and moments of high drama, and examines the ways in which its physical spaces influenced the lives of those who inhabited it. Ultimately, this book offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the Palace of Westminster as both a physical structure and a symbol of royal power.
