Leopold IV the Generous
He was the younger son of Saint Leopold. Why he was favored over his older brothers remains a mystery. In 1136 he took over Austria as Margrave. Since his mother was from the Staufer Family he was given Bavaria in 1139, which had been taken away from the Welfen Family. Leopold is known to have swapped the Peterskirche in Vienna for some territory outside the city walls. Since he died in 1141, he did not have time to do much more…
His wife was Mary of Bohemia. After his death, he was succeeded by his Brother Henry, bot as Margrave of Austria and as Duke of Bavaria.
