The Private Lives of the Tudors 2 (Pages 30 - 53)




 The book describes how royalty dressed and mentions the Great Wardrobe of Robes and Beds, which originally was in the Towaer of London, and then it moved to Baynard Castle. It served primarily as a storehouse for the king's state and ceremonial robes, as well as those pertaining to members of the Royal Family and Household, to ambassadors, ministers, Knights of the Garter and various other office-holders. Cloths and hangings, as used at coronations, funerals and other occasions of state, were also kept here; as were items such as beds and other furnishings for royal and official use. These items had previously been kept in the Tower of London.
