This is where he threw his most extravagant tournaments. Knights in shiny armor, ladies in silk dresses, and a king who loved to show off. It was the Tudor version of a Super Bowl party.
Tragically, the palace is gone now. The fancy building that stands there today is the Royal Naval College. But you can still feel the vibe of a king who was born for greatness.
