  • Notes 
    • Leonard was one of the mathematicians who anticipated the dilemna of Copernicusand Ptolemy, but he kept his own findings uncirculated though published.
      Leonard and his son Thomas were both mathematicians and were both politically active, sometimes costing the family royal displeasure which translated into lost land.
