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]
In 1868, the Earl of Cardigan, a Conservative politician and Templar, was killed inside the palace by the Assassin Jacob Frye.[2]
