Guigues III of Forez
Guigues III of Forez (1160–1203), nicknamed Branda, was count of Forez from 1199, when his father Guigues II retired to a monastery. His short reign was spent fighting the lords of Beaujeu.
In 1202 he took the cross for the Fourth Crusade, but instead of following the main army to Constantinople he sailed from Marseille straight for the Holy Land with a company of knights and sergeants. He reached Acre early in 1203 and died shortly afterwards.
