  Arthur III, Duke of Brittany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur III (August 24, 1393 – December 26, 1458), known as the Justicier and as Arthur de Richemont, was Count (Earl) of Richmond in England and, for eleven months at the very end of his life, Duke of Brittany after inheriting the title upon the death of his nephew.
Arthur's support for Charles VII of France against the English did not allow him to keep the earldom, which was confiscated by the English government and awarded to Duke John of Bedford.
However, in 1435, Arthur of Brittany was again an influential man and orchestrated the Treaty of Arras between Charles VII of France and Philip III, duke of Burgundy.

The latter made peace with the king of England at the beginning of the year 1200, when Arthur was induced by the French king to remain contented with the Duchy of Brittany, and renounce all claims to the crown of England, as well as to the continental provinces of Normandy, Maine, Anjou, Touraine, and Poitou.

The rule of the succession to the throne was not yet fixed or uniform in Western Europe, but the two obvious candidates were Arthur of Brittany (the son of Henry II's third son Geoffrey) and John (the forth and youngest son of Henry II).
Arthur, however, was only twelve years old when Richard died and the barons of Normandy and Aquitaine were solidly in favor of John.
But he never held the confidence of his continental barons and steadily lost ground, notably through the cruelty he showed to his foes culminating in April 1203 in the murder of Arthur, a deed probably done by the King himself in a fit of drunken fury.
