We're about to start our first Road to Legend campaign, and while reading the rulebook a question arose. When killing an encounter or dungeon level leader the heroes gain 100 gold (and 2 conquest), for dungeon leaders it's 250 gold (and 4 conquest).

Upon browsing the incident and dungeon decks, I notice that most (all?) leaders are master monsters. My question is obviously, do the heroes gain the 50 gold bounty for killing master monsters in addition to this leader bounty? I've read the rulebook, FAQ and browsed these and the BGG forums without finding anything regarding this issue.

No. They are not Master Monsters, they are Named Monsters. They are usually based on Master Monster stats etc, and use a Master Monster figure, but they are a higher order than Master Monsters.

Note that the 250gold/4CT is only for Leaders on the bottom/final level of a dungeon.
