He married Isabella of Burgundy on July 22nd (maybe also 12th) July 1406, † September 18, 1412, daughter of Johann Ohnefurcht , Duke of Burgundy ( House of Burgundy ), in the hope that in this way his grandfather's inherited claims to the Bretagne, for which he fought all his life, to be better able to assert. The marriage remained childless. Only 16 years after the death of his wife did he step in front of the altar a second time. He married in 1428 Jeanne de Lalaing, mistress of Quiévrain , † 1467, daughter of Simon II. De Lalaing († 1388) and Jeanne de Ligne. With Jeanne de Lalaing he had a son and a daughter who died as children. Since Olivier de Châtillon-Blois was thus without an heir when he died in 1433, his brother John II succeeded him in Penthièvre and Limoges.
