  1. Born in Greenwich Palace in Greenwich June 28th 1491


  2. Henry the 8th was born in Greenwich Palace in Greenwich, England. Greenwich Palace was known as The Palace of Placentia, which was an English Royal Palace built by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester in 1428, in Greenwich, on the banks of the River Thames, downstream from London. The Palace was demolished in the seventeenth century and replaced with the Greenwich Hospital (now The Old Royal Naval College) in the late seventeenth century.

    The Palace remained the principal royal palace for the next two centuries. It was the birth-place of King Henry VIII in 1491, and figured heavily in his life. Following his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Placentia was the birth-place of Mary Tudor (later Queen Mary I) in February 1516. After his marriage to Anne Boleyn, his daughter, later Queen Elizabeth I, was born at Placentia in 1533, and he married Anne of Cleves there in 1540. A tree in Greenwich Park is known as Queen Elizabeth's Oak, in which she is reputed to have played as a child.

  4. Like all the Tudors with the single exception of his father, Henry VIII was born in Greenwich Palace, which is sometimes called the Palace of Placentia, on 28 June 1491, the second son and third child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York.  Henry was subsequently baptised in the parish church by the Bishop of Exeter.

    After falling into disrepair during the English Civil Wars, the Palace of Placentia, on the banks of the River Thames, was demolished in 1694 and replaced with Greenwich Hospital (the The Old Royal Naval College). The University of Greenwich and Trinity College of Music currently occupy this site.

  7. What they all said!

    Greenwich is a fascinating place apart from it's Royal and historical connections.  It was a Royal Navy Officers training college., a Naval Museum, and the Royal observatory.  It is in the observatory where a mark on the floorc [put there by Professor Haldane I believe] marks the Greenwhich Meridian.  It is from this mark that all the worlds time zones are measured.  For every 15 dgress of the earths diameter you travel EAST an hour is added [in Germany it would be 1pm if noon in Greenwhich], while for every 15 degrees WEST you subtract an hour.  You can actually stand astride that mark and have one foot in the east and one in the west.

    Well worth a visit.
