Summary
| Description |
English: Leeds Castle, Kent Leeds Castle is set on two islands on the River Len in Kent. Robert de Crevecoeur , one of William the Conquerors lords, first build a castle here in 1119. Leeds Castle passed into royal hands in 1278 and became part of the Queen of Englands dower - the settlement widowed queens received upon the death of their husbands. Over the course of 150 years it was held by six mediaeval queens: Eleanor of Castile; Margaret of France; Isabella of France, Joan of Navarre; Anne of Bohemia and Catherine de Valois.
It has Norman foundations; a mediaeval gatehouse; the Gloriette, built by Edward I and updated in Henry VIIIs times; a Tudor tower; and a 19th century country house - all of which were substantially refurbished in the 20th century.( http://www.leeds-castle.com) |
