Why is the castle in kent called LEEDS castle when its no where near leeds?

The name Leeds originates from the name of a chief minister of King Ethelbert IV ( 856-860) called Ledian ( it is not associated with the city of Leeds! )

The Saxon manor of Esledes was an ideal place for the descendant of one of William the Conqueror鈥檚 lords, Robert de Crevecoeur, to fortify and build a castle in 1119.

Leeds is a corruption of Esledes

There was a commemorative plate done of Leeds a while back with scenes from the city. Of course, they included an image of Leeds castle too! It was withdrawn quite quickly...
