In particular, the claim that he was Count of Dunois and Blois must be proven.

Louis III de Châtillon († July 15, 1391 ) was Count of Dunois and Lord of the Romorantin . He was the son of Guy II. De Châtillon , Count of Blois , and Mary of Namur .

He married on March 29, 1386 in Bourges Maria (* probably 1367; † June 1434 in Lyon ), since 1370 Duchess of Auvergne , daughter of Jean de Valois, duc de Berry .

He was the only son and heir to County Blois. He died before his father and was also childless, so that the Châtillon family was not continued in this line. After the death of his father in 1397, Duke Louis de Valois, duc d'Orléans bought the counties of Blois and Dunois from the heirs of Guys II for 200,000 French crowns.

Half a year after his death, on January 27, 1392, his widow married Philippe d'Artois , Count of Eu , who was appointed Connétable of France in the same year .
