The '''Savoy Palace''', considered the grandest [[Townhouse (Great Britain)|nobleman's townhouse]] of [[Norman and Medieval London|medieval London]], was the residence of prince [[John of Gaunt]] until it was destroyed during rioting in the [[Peasants' Revolt]] of 1381. The palace was on the site of an estate given to [[Peter II, Count of Savoy]], in the mid-13th century, which in the following century came to be controlled by Gaunt's family and then the monarch by right of the [[Duchy of Lancaster]]. It was situated between the [[Strand, London|Strand]] and the [[River Thames]]. French monarch [[John II of France]] died here during his "honourable captivity", after an illness. In the locality of the palace, the administration of law was by a special jurisdiction, separate from the rest of the county of [[Middlesex]], known as the [[Liberty of the Savoy]].

The Tudor-era [[Savoy Chapel]] is located on the site of the former palace and has carried on the name. The name is also carried on by the [[Savoy Theatre]] and [[Savoy Hotel]] also located on the former estate.
