1. FRIEDRICH (-Palestine on crusade 16 Apr 1198, bur Heiligenkreuz). The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis name "Fridericus et Leupoldus" as sons of "Leopoldus dux"[266]. He succeeded his father in 1195 as FRIEDRICH I "der Katholische" Duke of Austria. The Continuatio Admuntensis for 1197 records the death "in peregrinatione sancte crucis" of "Fridericus dux Austrie"[267]. The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "XVI Kal 1198" of "Fridericus…primus pronepos s Leopoldi fundatoris" and his burial "in capitulo no"[268].

Betrothed (Feb 1194) to ELEONORE de Bretagne, daughter of GEOFFROY of England Duke of Brittany & his wife Constance Dss of Brittany (1184-Corfe Castle, Dorset or Bristol 10 Aug 1241, bur Bristol, St James, transferred to Amesbury convent). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Arturum iuvenum et filiam unam Alienordem" as children of "Gaufridus dux Britannie comes Richemontis filius Henrici regis Anglie natu tertius" & his wife[269]. She is named as daughter of "Galfridi comitis Britanniæ" by Matthew of Paris[270]. The primary source which confirms her betrothal has not yet been identified. This betrothal was agreed as part of the terms for the release of Richard I King of England from the custody of Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany in Feb 1194, together with that of Friedrich's younger brother to the daughter of Isaakios Dukas Komnenos ex-Emperor of Cyprus[271]. The two brides left for Vienna from Normandy in Dec 1194 in the charge of Baudouin de Béthune, but turned back when they learnt of the death of Leopold V Duke of Austria[272].
