Historical background
LIMOUSIN - VISCOUNTCY OF LIMOGES - JOHN III OF BRITTANY AND JOHANNA OF SAVOY
(1329-1338)
Jean III (1286-1341) is the son of Arthur II of Brittany. His father instituted him viscount of Limoges in 1301, then he became duke of Brittany in 1305, but died in 1312. Jean III 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 Isabelle died in 1328. He remarried Jeanne de Savoie in 1329 and offered Limoges as a dower to his second wife..
