Leto was widely known as "the Red Duke"... Not entirely correct. In Dune, Jessica says something along the lines of "only the Emperor calls Leto the Red Duke". This occurs when a Harkonnen officer refers to Leto thus, confirming Jessica's suspicions that there were Saudukar within the Harkonnen ranks.

Style revision.

I believe these articles should be renamed so that the house comes last, rather than the ordinal. For example, the current monarch of the UK (though this style is rarely, if ever, used) is "Elizabeth II Windsor", not "Elizabeth Windsor II". Hence, this article, and the text within it and about it, should reflect "Leto I Atreides", and not "Leto Atreides I". Frank Herbert himself never referred to this person as "Leto Atreides I", but typically "Leto". Likewise, his grandson was typically referred to as "Leto II", not "Leto Atreides II". If Brian Herbert or Kevin Anderson do use "Leto Atreides I", I submit it is due to incompetence. --70.131.247.129 (talk) 23:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Duke's Motto

Would it be correct to write down the motto of the Duke at the beginning of the article, "J'y suis, j'y reste."? I think it's an important thing, and if anyone wants to know where I got this, it would be from the book "God Emperor of Dune".--Francopedorro (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Leto

It's not at all clear that the way to pronounce Leto (either Leto I or Leto II) is spelled out in any of the novels (at least not the copies I have). It's true that the made-for-tv mini-series pronounced it as indicated in the article (lei-toe). However, the audiobook rendition of Dune (1-3) pronounces it (lee-toe).Jithrae (talk) 06:09, 8 June 2011 (UTC) The movie made by David Lynch, with much input from Frank Herbert himself, pronounces the name Lee-toe too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittencaz23 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leto Never Married Jessica

The article says that Leto's spouse is Lady Jessica, but he never married her. I don't know how this should be corrected. Pitzik4 (talk) 00:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
