Leopold V
duke of styria
After Acre surrendered, the banners of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Richard I of England, Philip II of France and Leopold were raised in the city by Leopold's cousin, Conrad of Montferrat. However, Richard removed Leopold's flag (see Siege of Acre). Richard was also suspected of involvement in the murder of Conrad, shortly after his election as King of Jerusalem in April 1192. On his journey back that winter, Richard, travelling in disguise, had to stop in Vienna, where he was recognized (supposedly because of his signet ring) and was arrested in the Erdberg district (modern Landstra?e). For some time the king was imprisoned in D?rnstein, and was then brought before Emperor Henry VI, and accused of Conrad's murder. The immense ransom, supposedly six thousand buckets of silver, became the foundation for the mint in Vienna, and was used to build new city walls for Vienna, as well as to build Wiener Neustadt. However, the duke was excommunicated by Pope Celestine III for having taken a fellow crusader prisoner.
In 1194 Leopold's foot was crushed when his horse fell on him at a tournament in Graz. He died of gangrene, still under excommunication.0 -

if it's german, the correct pronunciation is "loypold". they pronounce eu's as oy.
"europa" they pronounce as "oyropa".
"euler's theorem" sounds like "oiler's theorem".
but if you said "loypold" people would think you're weird.0 -

Leo-pold is not the same as Leu-pold
And Bushmaster is correct it should be pronounced Loypold.0 -
It's fun to have both pronunciations available.
Some friends came in to warm up by our stove after hunting deer. One announced he had acquired a Leupold 4-12 X 40 that had more magnification than he needed, and he didn't know what to do with it. I said I might be interested, but if not, he should take it to a gun show and sell it there. I said, "After all, a lot of guys attend those events for the express purpose of finding a gun show Loo-pold."
His brother said, "No, no! Keep it and mount it on your .270. It would be useful in the east lobe of that south field, where the range is so long. In fact, we could call that the Lee-o-pold Lobe."0 -

And Bianchi is "Be-Yankee". Not "Bee-yanchy" or "Be-onka".
Franchi is "Frankie". Not "Fronchi" or "Franch-ee".
Got this from their own co. officials. Doesn't really matter but I like to hear them pronounced correctly, just as Leupold is "Loo-pold".0 -
