Norfolk’s Palace, Lambeth

Catherine Howard returns here under Duke of Norfolk's protection, establishing the palace as Howard faction headquarters for political schemes to unseat Anne of Cleves. Henry's barge glides up the Thames for secret evening visits to her chambers, long after sunset. Corridors carry hushed plotting and guarded footsteps; torchlight reveals faces set with ambition, while river mist clings to stone walls hiding court threats from prying eyes.
