- Prodigy_house abstract "The term "prodigy houses" has been applied to notable English Tudor and Elizabethan houses, usually built with a view to housing Elizabeth I and her entourage as they travelled around her realm. Many of these are situated in the English Midlands and were the work of architect-mason Robert Smythson, or show his influence.In the social and political conditions of the 16th century, it was considered essential for the English monarch to travel the country (annual "progresses"), staying at the houses of wealthy courtiers. The hosts would naturally be expected to house the monarch in style and provide sufficient accommodation for the travelling court. As a result, there was an Elizabethan building "boom", with large houses being built in the most modern styles by courtiers, wealthy from acquired monastic estates, who wished to display their wealth and status. A characteristic was the large area of glass - a new feature that superseded the need for easily defended external walls and announced the owners' wealth. Hardwick Hall, for example was described as "... more glass than wall".".
