Leopold VI von Babenberg
Duke of Austria and Steiermark
Leopold VI (German: Luitpold VI. von Österreich, 1176 28 July 1230), known as Leopold the Glorious (German: Luitpold der Glorreiche), 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. He was also a member of the Chapter of the Cistercian Order. 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. He is arguably one of the greatest of the Babenbergs.
Leopold blev gift med Theodora Angela, datter af Ioannes Angelos og N.N., i 1203. (Theodora Angela blev født mellem 1180 og 1185 i Byzantium og døde den 23 Jun. 1246.)
