Edward III, Duke of Bar

Edward III of Bar was made Marquis of Pont-à-Mousson by his father Robert I, [Duke of Bar] in 1399. His mother was Mary of France, the daughter of John II of France. He held the marquisate until his death. He became heir to the Duchy of Bar following the deaths of his elder brothers, Henry and Philippe, at or soon after the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396.
In 1405, Charles [VI of France] charged him with defending the Boulonnais, then threatened by the English. At the end of 1406 he participated in the Guyenne campaign under the orders of Louis of Orleans, but dysentery decimated the French forces. After Louis's assassination in 1407, Edward joined John the Fearless and rallied the Burgundians. Edward succeeded his father on 12 April 1411. He was killed at the Battle of Agincourt and was succeeded by his brother. Though he never married, he left several illegitimate children.
