Historical background

BRITTANY - DUCHY OF BRITTANY - JEAN III CALLED THE GOOD

(1312-1341)

Jean III (1286-1341) is the son of Arthur II of Brittany. His father made him viscount of Limoges in 1301, then he became duke of Brittany in 1305, but died in 1312. Jean III, known as "le Bon", therefore in turn became duke of Brittany. In 1314, he gave the Viscountcy of Limoges to his brother Guy VII (1314-1317). After Guy's death, he instituted the viscountcy as a dower for the benefit of his wife Isabelle de Castille, but she died in 1328. He remarried Jeanne de Savoie in 1329 and offered Limoges as a dower to his second wife. He became Earl of Richmond in 1333 and paid homage to Edward III of England for this earldom. Without an heir, he married his niece Jeanne to Charles de Blois and died in Caen in 1341 after having supported Philippe VI in the Hundred Years War which began.
