Norman Origins (12th Century): Leeds Castle was originally built as a Norman stronghold in 1119 by Robert de Crevecoeur, a lord under William the Conqueror. The site had strategic importance due to its location on the River Len, which provided natural defenses.
Royal Connections: The castle's history as a royal residence began in 1278 when it was purchased by Eleanor of Castile, the wife of King Edward I. Leeds Castle became a favorite residence of English queens, and it earned the nickname "The Ladies' Castle" because it was home to six medieval queens.
Edward I and Eleanor of Castile: Edward I expanded and fortified Leeds Castle, transforming it into a royal palace. The castle featured a barbican, drawbridge, and moat, making it a formidable fortress. It served both as a royal residence and a military stronghold.
Isabella of France: The castle played a role in the political intrigues of the 14th century. Queen Isabella of France, the wife of King Edward II, used Leeds Castle as her base during her invasion of England in 1326, which led to the overthrow of her husband.
Henry V's Queen, Catherine of Valois: During the 15th century, Leeds Castle was granted to Catherine of Valois, the widow of King Henry V. It remained an important royal residence throughout the Middle Ages.
