Biography

Gui de Bretagne (Guy of Brittany), was the second son of Arthur II, Duke of Brittany, of the House of Dreux, and his first wife, Marie, Vicomtesse de Limoges, and was born in 1287.

After Guy's elder brother John (Jean III) succeeded their father as Duke of Brittany, Guy laid claim to part of Limoges, the inheritance of their mother as his apanage, which was confirmed in a treaty signed in Paris in March 1314. However Limoges had already been granted as the dower to Isabelle of Castile, John III's second wife, and instead Guy was granted the County of Penthievre, and County of Treguier, the castle and Lordship of Minibriac and the revenues from Guingamp, Pontrieux, La Roche-Derrien and the salt works of Rhuys. This was confirmed by an act signed by the King on April 1318.

Guy also succeeded as Comte de Goëlo and other territories through the rights of his first wife.

He married firstly in 1318, Jeanne d'Avaugour, elder daughter and heir of Henri IV d'Avaugour, comte de Goëlo, seigneur d'Avaugour and Mayenne, and his wife Jeanne d'Harcourt, dame de L'Aigle. They had a daughter;

  1. Jeanne de Bretagne, or de Penthière, born 1319, who succeeded her father and mother, and also her uncle Jean III as Duchesse de Bretagen;

Jeanne d'Avaugour died 28 July 1327 and was buried in front of the Altar in the Church of the Cordeliers in Guingamp, which had been founded by Guy.

He married secondly Jeanne de Belleville, daughter of Maurice de Belleville, seigneur de Belleville-sur-Vie, and his wife, Letice de Parthenay, and widow of Geoffroi, seigneur de Châteaubriant. This marriage was annulled by Pope John XXII by request of the King of France on 10 Feburary 1330, and Jeanne de Belleville, married thirdly Olivier de Clisson.

Dispensation was granted by Pope John XXII on 12 February 1331 for Guy to marry Marie de Blois, daughter of Guy I de Châtillon, comte de Blois et de Dunois, and his wife, Marguerite de Valois, sister of Philippe VI, King of France, but Guy died at Nigeon, near Paris, on 26 March 1331 before the marriage could take place. He was buried with his first wife in the Church of the Cordeliers in Guingamp.

Besides his daughter, he also had an illegitimate son;

  1. Thomas, a cleric in the diocese of Vannes, who received an act of legitimacy 21 June 1349.
