Notes[edit | edit source]

  • King Leo made an appearance, but played a little role, in LEGO Island 2.
  • King Leo is married to Queen Leonora, Leonora being a play on Leo.
  • He also has a daughter, Princess Storm.
  • Leo could be named Leo by LEGO either because Leo means King, it is related to lions, or because Leo is LEGO without the "G".
  • King Leo's name may have also been inspired by King Richard Cour-de-Leon, Richard the Lionheart.
  • King Leo's appearance may have been inspired by that of film legend Sean Connery, who played many kings, including Richard the Lionheart, in the movies. Beyond that, in LEGO Island 2, Leo and the Lions seem to speak with Scottish accents, so King Leo may have indeed been based on Sean Connery.
