History
Before the Palace: the Manor of Hampton Court[edit]
The name Hampton Court[a] originally referred to the manor house and chapel maintained on the site of the current palace by the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (known as the Knights Hospitaller)[b]. Established in Hampton since the 12th century, the Order developed their manor house at Hampton Court into one of their largest and best-appointed in England, and it was frequently used by the court of Edward III as alternative accommodation to Sheen Palace (the royal palace on the Thames at Richmond),[c] a way station and guest house for visitors en route upriver to the royal manor at Byfleet (constructed by Edward II in the early 14th century), and a guest house for royal pensioners.[2]
After the manor at Byfleet was dismantled in 1414 by Henry V, the importance of Hampton Court as a royal venue diminished. The Knights Hospitallers leased the property for a time,[d] before retaining it as a country estate for the prior of the Order, James Kendall. In 1494 Kendall leased the property to Giles Daubeney, a fellow member of the Privy Council. A favourite of Henry VII,[e] Daubeney sought to establish a seat near London and the new palace constructed by Henry at Richmond.[3]
Daubeney signed an 80-year lease for Hampton Court in 1494, and was made Lord Chamberlain the following year.

Henry VII favoured Westminster, Sheen, Greenwich and Windsor, in that order. [4]
Elizabeth of York travelled to Hampton Court in December 1502 - pregnant with Katherine. T17 56-7 citing Okerlund A N, Elizabeth of York (Basingstoke, 2009) and Ford. Before she retired to the Tower to give birth and die of postpartum infection.

Notes[edit]
- ^ The earliest reference to the name is the manor house referred to as 'Hampton Court' in the 1399 will of Richard Weynel, Vicar of Hampton.[1]
- ^ Precursor to the modern Order of St John.
- ^ In 1353 Edward III had paid for the Order's manor at Hampton Court to be repaired after his servants accidentally set fire to the roof.
- ^ The first recorded lease of the manor was to John Wode, the Yorkist Speaker of the House of Commons under Edward IV and vice-admiral for Richard III. The date of Wode’s lease is not known, only its re-granting on the same terms to Giles Daubeney in 1494.
- ^ Originally an esquire of Edward IV (and knighted in 1478), Daubeney formed part of the failed Buckingham's rebellion against Richard III, before escaping to Brittany with Henry Tudor and later fighting bravely at the Battle of Bosworth. Daubeney was rewarded by Henry VII, becoming a Privy Councillor, co-Master of the Mint and Lieutenant of Calais.
