Etymology

Please, remove the absurd statement that Romans called it "Val-Caester", that is not Latin, nor in Latin "wall" is val (it is vallum). Caester is Anglosaxon for Latin castrum. Manfariel (talk) 23:16, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Malbis

Is "Malbis" derived from the Norman Malbysse or De Malebys family and from a Norman personal name which in French means "very swarthy"? It could, alternatively, come from "evil beast", Latin: Mala Bestia, representing the name given to Richard Malbysse by a Hebrew scribe around the time of the massacre in Clifford's Tower, who is referred to in the article? John Gillegan mentions this wording as the meaning of the name, although he does not connect this with the Hebrew scribe or the massacre. (Gilleghan, J. [1992], Scenes from East Leeds, p. 10) - BobKilcoyne (talk) 10:58, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
