I know Henry and his wives are bound to be SOME part of the story but I don't want them to be the focus.
I want a story more about the place itself, like it's its own character, like:
-
how it was run by the servants(?) and what roles they had
-
what did the rooms include, the diff types of rooms
-
what were the rules/etiquette
-
what was the actual process when someone showed up for court (did they get "checked in" like a hotel? did they have to reserve a room? who paid for all of it?)
-
the food served, how the kitchen ran, how they sourced ingredients
-
difficulties of running the place
-
the different places used as courts and the pros/cons
-
examples of the events that happened there (which is where Henry+wives will inevitably pop up)
