john ii, duke of brittany

John II of Dreux (in French Jean II de Dreux) (1239-November 18 1305) was duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond, from 1286 to his death. He was son of Duke Jean I and Blanche, princess of Navarre. Jean married Princess Beatrix of England, the daughter of King Henry III of England, in 1259. They had six children:

Arthur II, Duke of Brittany
John de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond
Pierre, Viscount de Leon
Marie de Dreux, wife of Guy III de Chtillon
Blanche de Dreux, wife of Philippe of Artois
Eleonore, Abbess of Fontevrault

He was killed during the celebrations surrounding the coronation of Pope Clement V in 1305. Jean was leading the pope's horse through the crowd. So many spectators had piled atop the walls that one of them crumbled and collapsed right on top of the unfortunate duke. See also: Dukes of Brittany family tree
