Guy II of Pontailler

Guy II of Pontailler (c. 1335–1392), also called Guy de Champlitte, was a Burgundian noble, son of Hugh of Pontailler. His house, Champlitte-Pontailler, descended from William of Champlitte, prince of Achaea after the Fourth Crusade, and long held a leading place in the duchy of Burgundy.

In January 1364, with free companies keeping the duchy in constant insecurity, Duke Philip the Bold named Guy marshal of Burgundy, an office he held until his death. He administered the duke's army and rode out himself to deal with the mercenaries; by his own account nobody else dared go to them.

He also fought the English and in 1384 was made governor of Flanders. He greatly enlarged his lands across the Saône, and he died in 1392.
