Guy III of Châtillon, Count of Saint-Pol (died 1289) was a French nobleman, and a younger son of Hugh I, Count of Blois, and Mary, Countess of Blois.[1]
While his elder brother John I of Châtillon succeeded to their mother's County of Blois, Guy was given their father's county of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise at his death in 1248.
On January 16, 1255, Guy married Matilda of Brabant, Countess of Artois, daughter of Henry II, Duke of Brabant and Marie of Swabia,[2] and thereafter was a supporter of his brother-in-law Henry III against Guelders. They had:
- Hugh II, Count of Blois.[3]
- Guy IV, Count of Saint-Pol.
- Jacques, lord of Leuze-Châtillon.
- Beatrix (d. 1304), married John I of Brienne, Count of Eu[3]
- Jeanne, married Guillaume III de Chauvigny, Lord of Châteauroux
Guy joined the Eighth Crusade (1270) and the ill-fated Crusade of Aragón of Philip III of France.
