Archduke Leo Karl was his father’s answer to the Eastern European question, and became the would-be Regent of the Habsburgs' zone of influence in the Balkan region.
In October 1922, he married Austrian noblewoman Maria-Klothilde von Thuillières Gfn von Montjoye-Vaufrey et de la Roche (1893–1978), known among family as "Maja", at St. Stephen Cathedral in Vienna. The marriage was acceptable, although morganatic. Their children were granted the title of Count of Habsburg.
Count Leo Stefan of Habsburg (12 June 1928 – 3 February 2020) - married 1st Gabriele Kunert (15 June 1935 - 20 October 1975) in 1962 and divorcing in 1969; they have children; married 2nd Heide Aigner (born 16 October 1942) in 1973; they have children.
Later life
He lived on a portion of the Żywiec family estate that he and his brother, Albrecht, inherited from their father. Leo raised his children as Germans.[1] He died of tuberculosis on 28 April 1939 at his estate in Bestwina, in southern Poland. Since he did not leave a will, the property was inherited by his wife Maja.
He was buried in the local cemetery in Bestwina, a countryside plot belonging to his family.
Generations are numbered by male-line descent from the first archdukes. Later generations are included although Austrian titles of nobility were abolished in 1919.
