The first buildings were used by the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem, a religious order founded in the early 12th century to protect the Holy Land from the Turks. However it was not until Wolsey and his vision for Hampton Court Palace came to life that the buiding caught the attention of King Henry VIII who admired the Palace and eventually obtained it for himself.
