Breton nobleman and knight
Olivier III de Clisson (1280–1320), was a Breton Marche Lord and knight.[1][2]
Lord of Southern Brittany
Olivier III continued expanding the de Clisson influence outside Brittany and in 1299, married Isabeau de Craon (1278 - July 30, 1350), daughter of Maurice VI de Craon. The Lords of Craon were mainly Norman with a history as former adversaries of the Dukes of Brittany.[3][4]
This Olivier III was now also son and heir of Jeanne Bertran, lady of Tuit, eldest daughter of Guillaume Bertran, lord of Tuit and Thury, a rich Norman heritage.[5][6]
Olivier III and Isabeau would eventually have five children:
- Olivier IV de Clisson in 1300;
- Amaury de Clisson, lord of Blandinais;
- Mahaut de Clisson, Dame des Earts;
- Gauthier(Garnier) de Clisson and
- Isabelle de Clisson
