Background
As a prince, Leopold is betrothed to Princess Eva, although he eventually falls in love with a noblewoman by the name of Cora.

Together, Leopold and Eva have a daughter whom they name Snow. Years later, Eva eventually succumbs to an illness and dies. Leopold searches for a new wife to be Queen, as well as become Snow's stepmother. When Snow is rescued from her wayward steed one day by Cora's daughter Regina, King Leopold thanks her for saving his daughter and requests Regina's hand in marriage. Although Regina initially is hesitant to marry the King, she and Leopold's bond begins to grow after their wedding, and they gradually start to love one another. However, Snow stumbles on Regina's artifacts of dark magic and becomes possessed by a curse that causes her to fatally wound Leopold.
