City founded where the Fosse Way crosses the River Soar (9)

I believe the answer is:

leicester

(Other definitions for leicester that I've seen before include "Orange kind of cheese" , "royal favourite" , "English cheese, maybe red" , "Queen's favourite" , "At Richmond Palace a favourite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
