Re: 10 Amazing Castles Built for Love!
Leeds is a feminine castle, after Anne of Bohemia, it was owned byQueen Eleanor, Isabella of France (Kind Edward II's wife) and Margaret of France (King Edward III's wife). Years later, kind Henry V gave the castle as a gift to his wife Catherine de Valois.
The chapel shot on the left was built by King Edward I for the purpose of a daily Mass to be sung for his beloved wife Eleanor who died in 1290. Edward was a ruthless king, but he clearly loved Eleanor. It is fitting that evidence of this affection should be linked with Leeds Castle.
