Guy of Thouars (died 12 April 1213) was the third husband of Constance, Duchess of Brittany, whom he married in 1199 in Angers, County of Anjou between August and October 1199〔 Judith Everard, & Michael Jones. The Charters of Duchess Constance of Brittany and Her Family, 1171-1221, The Boydell Press, 1999, p 135〕 after her son Arthur of Brittany entered Angers to be recognized as count of the three countships of Anjou, Maine and Touraine. He was an Occitan noble, a member of the House of Thouars. Between 1196 and the time of her death delivering twin daughters, Constance ruled Brittany with her young son Arthur I, Duke of Brittany as co-ruler. When Duke Arthur I died in 1203, he was succeeded by his infant maternal sister, Alix of Thouars. Guy served as Regent of Brittany for his infant daughter Alix, Duchess of Brittany from 1203 to 1206. In 1204, Guy de Thouars as regent of Dutchess Alix, vassal of the Philip II, King of France, undertook the siege of the Normans island fortress of Mont Saint-Michel. Because the abbey would not surrender, he set fire to the village and massacred the population. He was obliged to beat a retreat under the powerful walls of the abbey. Unfortunately, the fire which he himself lit extended to the buildings, and the roofs fell prey to the flames. Philip II paid Abbot Jordan for the reconstruction cost. In 1206 Philip II took the regency of Brittany himself, much to the consternation of the Breton nobles. Guy of Thouars died in 1213 in Chemillé in the county of Maine, and was buried with Constance at Villeneuve Abbey in Les Sorinières outside of Nantes. ==Issue== Guy married Constance of Brittany in 1199.〔Amy Kelly, ''Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings'', (Harvard University Press, 1978), 351.〕 They had two daughters: * Alix of Thouars, who succeeded her maternal brother in 1203 as ''suo jure'' Duchess of Brittany and Countess of Richmond; * Katherine of Thouars, Dame of Aubigné; she married Andrew III, Baron of Vitré,〔Michael Lower, ''The Barons' Crusade: A Call to Arms and Its Consequences'', (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005), 48〕 in 1212; Contradictory sources state that Constance and Guy might have had another daughter:〔Arthur Le Moyne de La Borderie, ''Histoire de Bretagne'', Tome troisième, p. 288〕 * Margaret of Thouars,〔Pierre-Hyacinthe Morice, ''Histoire ecclésiastique et civile de Bretagne'', Tome premier, p. 129 and 150〕〔Charles Taillandier, ''Histoire ecclésiastique et civile de Bretagne'', Tome second, p.
