Hampton Court Palace is a magnificent testament to the ambitions of one of England’s most notorious monarchs. Built in the early sixteenth century, Henry VIII claimed the estate as his residence.
Following his marriage to Jane Seymour in 1536, Henry VIII commissioned a commanding entrance to the palace, presenting several majestic figures to honour his new Queen Consort. Amongst these was the impressive Queen’s Lion, a proud and powerful symbol that supports a shield bearing Jane Seymour’s royal badge that is emblematic of her position and the Tudor legacy.
