Guido V. (Limoges)

Guido V. (French: Guy ; † March 29, 1229 in Avignon ) was a vice count of Limoges from the House of Comborn . He was the son of the Vice Count Adémar V and Sara de Dunastanville ( Rolloniden ).

After the death of Richard the Lionheart in April 1199, Guido and his father swore their loyalty to King Philip II August that same month . Only a few months later, the father died, allegedly murdered by Philipp von Cognac . In the Treaty of Le Goulet in May 1200, the French king made a reconciliation between Johann Ohneland , the brother and heir of Richard the Lionheart, with the Vice Count of Limoges and the Count of Angoulême a condition, which was made in writing that same year. When Johann Ohneland was ostracized and expropriated again because of his marriage to Isabella von Angoulême, which followed soon after , Guido immediately turned against him again. Together with the Lusignans he supported the campaign of Arthur of Brittany , but with this he was taken prisoner in July 1202 during the siege of Mirebeau . Apparently Guido was soon released together with the Lusignans and in the armistice of Thouars on October 13, 1206 he was confirmed as Vice Count of Limoges.

Guido's attitude during the military conflicts of 1214 ( Battle of Roche-aux-Moines , Battle of Bouvines ) is unclear. However, King Philip II had already placed the citizens of Limoges under royal protection in March 1213, which certainly limited Guido's own power. He died on March 29, 1229 and was buried in the Saint-Martial Abbey in Limoges .

Guido was first married to a daughter of Count Robert IV of Auvergne , who died in 1210, with whom he had the son Adémar, who died in 1223. His second wife was named Ermengarde, with whom he had three children:

• Guido VI. († August 13, 1263 in Brantôme ), Vice Count of Limoges
• Margaret († September 9, 1259); 1. ∞ with Count Archambaud II of Périgord ; 2. ∞ with Vice Count Aimery VIII of Rochechouart
• Maria († before 1255); ∞ with Vice Count Archambaud VII of Comborn
