Leonardo of Reovell

Leonardo (747 BE – 810 BE) was an early-mid century Reovell prince and the son of Queen Isabella of Reovell and Lucius Antonius. He was the second husband of the Yutemond war hero, Thia I. His relationship within the Yutemond Thilian noble family has been subject of both admiration and controversy.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
Leonardo was a Reovell prince and the son of the last client queen of the Yutemond state, Isabella of Reovell. His father was Lucius Antonius Major, also known as Antonius the Elder. He was defeated in the years 773-775 BE in his wars against Ulpia, the first ruling queen of Korlat and informal empress of the Yutemond Kingdom (later empire).
=== Marriage with Thia ===
In 770 BE, in gratitude for offering to defend her children if she should die against Ulpia I, Isabella gave Thia the hand of her son Leonardo, dominion over several lands in Reovell - amounting to a third of her conquered realm. After her marriage to Leonardo, she also gifted Thia with 33,000 gold coins and a gold mine. At the time, Thia was already married and monogamous by both nature and family tradition. She, however, accepted out of regard for Isabella, who she felt was an "unfortunate friend on the side of evil."
Back in Rocol, the marriage was not generally accepted because of the tradition of monogamy in Thia's family. Leonardo lived for some time with Thia at her palace of Thosopian in the city of Fort Tecan. The palace's north-east corner held Leonardo Plaza and had its own external doorway called Leonardo Gateway. Thia later built a separate residence for Leonardo at Loronae in 780 BE. The site still exists. The palace at Loronae was dismantled and parts of this was used to construct a new residence for one of Anastasia Korlat's friends.
==== Leonardillo (Leonardo the Younger) ====
Leonardo sired a son who was named Leonardo the Younger (called Leonardillo) at birth.
After the closely following deaths of Thia and Leonardo in 810 BE, Aufiidan took the 6 year-old Leonardillo under his care and raised him as one of his own. Leonardillo was bestowed upon a portion of his mother's dominions.
== Death ==
Leonardo died in 810 BE, shortly after Thia's death. His cause of death is unknown. According to some, say he died of a shock after perceiving his wife's death. But, many believe that he committed suicide after he heard of Thia's death by consuming poison.
