I just found this on the web (as you know, if it's on the 'net it must be true....)http://www.yorkshire-england.co.uk/Leeds.htmlApparently we're all Welsh... "Leeds may have been the centre of a Roman settlement, although there is no definite evidence for this. It is first mentioned in Anglo-Saxon times when it was called Loidis by the Venerable Bede of Jarrow. It was a Welsh speaking ancient British area that held out for a time against the Anglo-Saxons and it is thought to have been a subdivision of Elmet, another Welsh speaking area that was later a part of the Kingdom of Northumbria."I never knew that!
