In 1239, Leonardo married Marguerite, the daughter of Narjot de Toucy, then regent of the Latin Empire.
In 1267, he ratified the Treaty of Viterbo on behalf of William, sealing a marital pact between Philip, the son of Charles I of Sicily and William's daughter Isabella of Villehardouin and providing for the transfer of the Principality to the Angevins.
