Loidis, from which Leeds derives its name, was anciently a forested area of the Celtic kingdom of Elmet. The settlement certainly existed at the time of the Norman conquest of England and in 1086 was a thriving manor under the overlordship of Ilbert de Lacy. It gained its first charter from Maurice de Gant in 1207 yet only grew slowly throughout the medieval and Tudor periods. The town had become part of the Duchy of Lancaster and reverted to the crown in the medieval period, so was a Royalist stronghold at the start of the English Civil War.

  • Leeds historia är starkt förknippad med textilindustrin som började etablera sig i staden på 1300-talet. Det är inte belagt att det funnits någon romersk bebyggelse på platsen, även om det är sannolikt. Staden fick sina marknadsrättigheter i ett lyckat försök att göra den egendom staden var en del av mer lönsam. Stadens relativa betydelse ökade med tiden ju mer textilindustrin växte. I samband med den industriella revolutionen växte staden, som många andra omgivande städer, mycket snabbt. Numera är textilindustrin av liten betydelse och stadens näringsliv relativt varierat. (sv)
