Leeds Castle is a historic castle located in Kent, England. It has a rich history dating back over 900 years and has served as a royal palace for six medieval queens of England.
Leeds Castle is supposedly named after a 9th-century Saxon nobleman named Ledian, who built the original wooden fortress on the site around 857 AD.
Other sources suggest that it is named after "Esledes", which possibly refers to the name of a stream mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
