Leir was also the basis of the character eponymous character from the Shakespearean play King Lear, whose daughters' names also appear as locations in the Leicester Alliance: Goneril, Riegan, and Ordelia, likely derived from Cordelia. Other characters from the play referenced as locations include the Earl of Gloucester and his son Edmund.
