The Palace of Westminster, sometimes known as the House of Parliament, is the meeting place of the British Parliament in London. Built alongside the palace is the Clock Tower, home to Big Ben.

History[edit | edit source]

During the Renaissance, the palace housed a secret court known as the Star Chamber, named for the stars painted on the ceiling of the meeting room. There, members could try powerful members of society whom ordinary courts were incapable of convicting. King Henry VII offered the Italian Assassins a seat in the Chamber after they killed his enemy Margaret of York.[1]

In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited the Palace of Westminster[2] as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city.[3] There, they acquired a section of the plans for the Tower of London,[4] by following an intendant responsible for urban matters to the building register office within the complex.[5]

In 1868, James Brudenell, a Conservative politician and a secret Templar, was killed inside the palace by the Assassin Jacob Frye, a member of the local Brotherhood.[6] Later that year, following the death of the British Templars' Grand Master Crawford Starrick, a faction of Templar terrorists attempted to blow up the palace but were thwarted by Jacob and his sister Evie Frye, operating on behalf of the Order of the Sacred Garter.[7]
