J. Loftie is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the rich history and architecture of Whitehall Palace, exploring its geographical significance and notable figures associated with its development, such as Cardinal Wolsey and Henry VIII. Loftie's work offers a scholarly insight into the evolution of this prominent location in Westminster. The opening of the book details the historical context of the land that would eventually become Whitehall, tracing its significance back to the 12th century and the ownership by the Abbot of Westminster. It discusses the transformation of the area over the following centuries, including the early days of Hubert de Burgh's residence and the eventual transition to royal hands under Henry VIII. Through references to various documents, landmarks, and notable figures, Loftie lays a foundation for understanding how Whitehall became a vital part of England's political and royal history, setting the stage for the events that would unfold within its walls.
