Residences

Maps

The first map shows the position of Leeds Castle, in Kent. It fell into royal possession when it was captured by King Stephen and later when it was given to Edward I as payment of debt.

The second map shows the location of Sandringham, the royal residence in Norfolk where the present royal family often spend Christmas. 

The third map shows the position of Hampton Court, in Greater London. This residence was given to Henry VIII by Wolsey in 1525 in a vain attempt to keep the monarch's favour.
