This may surprise you but there isn't actually a dungeon at Hampton court. But really it is perfectly logical. Why would the king of England want criminals in his house? I mean they could escape and kill him or anything.

Lots of people have lived in Hampton Court. It was originally built by Cardinal Wolsey. After his death it came into the possession of Henry VIII and has been a royal palace ever since. It is no longer a royal residence and no monarchs have lived there since George II. George III didnt even set foot inside
Yes. Infact, you can still see one of Henry VIII's mazes at Hampton court palace. He used to put his guests in there to be entertained
yes but he gave it to Henry viii
A palace dungeon would be described as a prison built in to the palace, almost always in the basement (although towers were sometimes used as well) which were designed to be very secure, with heavy stone walls and iron bars, but generally not very comfortable. Medieval rulers seldom felt much compassion toward the people whom they locked up in their dungeons.
