The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the British Parliament in London.
During the Renaissance, it 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]
Trivia
- Shaun Hastings used the pseudonym "Guy Fawkes" for his online activities; Fawkes plotted to assassinate King James I by blowing up the Palace during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.[2]
