Leopold VI, Duke of Austria
Leopold VI, Duke of Austria
Leopold VI, known as Leopold the Glorious, was the duke of Styria from 1194 and the duke of Austria from 1198 to his death in 1230. He was a member of the House of Babenberg. Like his predecessors, he attempted to develop the land by founding monasteries. His most important foundation is Lilienfeld in the Lower Austrian valley of the Traisen river, where he was buried after his death. Besides that, he supported the then highly modern mendicant orders of the Franciscans and Dominicans.
