LEEDS CASTLE IN KENT, ENGLAND













Castle Apartments where Henry VIII's entourage of people & guests lived that traveled

around with him whenever they moved from one Castle to another. They had many

Castle's in England & they would pack up & all move to a different castle where there

would be new game to hunt to keep them all fed. They hung huge colorful tapestries

on hooks in the walls of the Castle to give it warmth & color, then they would take them

down, roll them up & take them to the next Castle. The guide said an entourage of 5,000

people lived & moved around with him. He became a great hunter & enjoyed helping

to provide for all of them.






















Leeds Castle in Southern part of England called Kent.
Our Ancestors on the Whetten/Hatch line came from this area.
This is the line we have recently discovered goes clear back to the French Kings



& Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
