The bull narrates how Duke Leopold greatly favoured priests and men of religion, and was so
devoted to the Popes that he was called by Innocent II “peculiaris Sancti Petri filius“. Of unstained
purity in his personal life, during the strife of the Emperor Henry and his son of the same name
he kept his duchy in peace. On his death, after a rule of forty years, in 1136, he was granted plenary
absolution by the Pope and acclaimed as a saint by the people.

copy. Only 1 copy in U. S. A. (acc. to Census).
