Answer 2

More specifically than England, which is the answer the first answerer gave, Elizabeth was born at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich and died at the Richmond Palace in Richmond.

Some of her youth was spent at Hatfield House, where she was informed she had become queen and where she held her first Council of State.

Also, there were a number of other royal residences in England that Elizabeth might have lived at during one point or another.

Answer 3

Elizabeth I moved around among several royal residences, most of which are no longer in existence.  She had palaces at Whitehall, Greenwich, Richmond, Windsor,Nonsuch (in Surrey) and Hampton Court.

Sometimes for a change she would go on progresses and stay with various noblemen, who were expected to entertain her lavishly.

Answer 4

Queen Elizabeth I lived in England and had many royal residences. She would take turn living in these difference places throughout the year depending on the season and festival. Once a year the Queen would often go on a progress to the southern counties, but most of the time, she resided in one of the great royal palaces; Whitehall, Hampton Court, Greenwich, Richmond, Westminster, St James, Windsor Castle, and towards the end of her reign, Nonsuch. The Queen would usually retire to Whitehall for Christmas, and after a few weeks would move on to another palace such as Richmond or Greenwich before moving to Windsor for Easter and the Maundy ceremony that the Queen participated in every year. St George's Day was also celebrated at Windsor.

It was important that the court moved after a few weeks as the palaces needed to be "aired and sweetened". Sewerage facilities were primitive and unless the palaces were cleaned after several weeks, it would become an unhygienic and unpleasant place to be. At her accession, the Queen inherited over sixty royal residences. Some Elizabeth occasionally frequented, but many were dilapidated. Others fell into ruin over the course of the reign as the cost of maintaining them was enormous. One solution was to bestow these residences on favoured courtiers. Robert Dudley, in particular, did well in this regard, receiving, amongst others, Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire.
