History of Leeds
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 overlordsip of Ilbert de Lacy. It gained its first charter from Maurice de Gant in 1207 yet grew but 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.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Leeds prospered and expanded as a centre of the woollen industry and it continued to expand rapidly in the Industrial Revolution. Following a period of post industrial decline in the mid twentieth century Leeds' prosperity revived with the development of tertiary industrial sectors.
==Name==
The name "Leeds" is first attested in the form "Loidis": around 731 Bede mentioned it in book II, chapter 14 of his ''Historia ecclesiastica'', in a discussion of an altar surviving from a church erected by Edwin of Northumbria, located in "...regione quae vocatur Loidis" ('the region known as Loidis'). This was evidently a regional name, but it subsequently occurs in the 1086 Domesday Book denoting a settlement, in the later Old English form ''Ledes''.〔A. D. Mills, ''A Dictionary of English Place Names'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991), s.v.〕 The name is not Old English in form, so is presumably an Anglo-Saxonisation of an earlier Celtic name. It is hard to be sure what this name was; Mills's ''A Dictionary of British Place-Names'' prefers Celtic
*''Lādenses'' 'people living by the strongly flowing river'.〔 It has been surmised that the name denoted a forest covering most of the kingdom of Elmet, which existed during the fifth century into the early seventh.〔(The Story of English Towns – Leeds ) J. S. Fletcher, Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1919〕 An inhabitant of Leeds is locally known as a ''Loiner'', possibly derived from Loidis.
