  Arthur III - LoveToKnow 1911
(1393-1458), earl of Richmond, constable of France, and afterwards duke of Brittany, was the third son of John IV., duke of Brittany, and Joan of Navarre, afterwards the wife of Henry IV.
The peace concluded between the duke of Brittany and the English in September 1427 led to his expulsion from the court, where Georges de la Tremoille, whom he himself had recommended to the king, remained supreme for six years, during which Richmond tried in vain to overthrow him.
On the death of his nephew Peter II., on the 22nd of September 1457, he became duke of Brittany, and though retaining his office of constable of France, he refused, like his predecessors, to do homage to the French king for his duchy.

 Setting the stage for World War III
For years the term "World War III" has been tossed about to describe everything from the international fight against poverty and disease to most recently the War on Terror.
There are numerous parallels between the now forming "Axis" of World War III and that of World War II.
However, when you look at the reality of what an actual World War III involving the United States, Iran, and North Korea would look like, it is a bit more obvious.
