Guy of Thouars

Guy of Thouars (Guy de Thouars ) ( † April 13, 1213 in Chemillé ) was the third son of Geoffrey V ( Geoffroy V), Viscount of Thouars, and was from 1203 to 1206 Duke of Brittany ( duc baillistre ) on behalf of its wife, the Duchess Constance of Brittany.

He and Constance († 1201), the Duke Gottfried II widow had two daughters:

  • Alix (* 1201, † 1221 ), who later became Duchess of Brittany.
  • Catherine ( * September 1, 1201, † 1237/1240 ), married in 1212 André III de Vitre.

In 1203 he followed - in the name of his daughter - his stepson Arthur I., who was murdered by King John Lackland, but the French King Philip II took control of the duchy, and informal Guido, his daughter in 1213 with Peter Mauclerc to marry out of the house - France Dreux, although they had previously been engaged already with the young Henry of Avaugour.
