Just a footnote.... a few palaces are neither royal nor ecclesiastical, such as Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire England (built for the Duke of Marlboro on his victory against Louis XIV at Blenheim in Bavaria).... and also Vienna's Upper and Lower Belvedere Palace (built for Prince Eugene of Savoy in his victory over the Turks).

These palace were built for generals.
