Leopold had a mild case of epilepsy. I suspect that had to do with the fall that caused his death. Although, I have not seen this noted. People fear things they don’t understand. If they are never noted, people will not know about them. Epilepsy is NOTHING to fear! Sadly, people in Leopolds day feared it much more and treated those with Epilepsy in COMPLETELY INHUMANE ways. DO NOT be fooled although FEWER people treat those with Epilepsy inhumanely today, some STILL do treat us inhumanely. It takes great bravery to stand up against those who are so cruel. Whenever I have to face such inhumane behaviour, I am reminded of the bravery my ancestors had and hold onto that. I do not fear speaking up to hopefully put an end to the inhumane behaviour of those who fear what they don’t understand and I hope that you do not fear speaking up either. EVERYONE matters!
