Leeds is a feminine castle, after Anne of Bohemia, it was owned by Queen 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.
