Jean Ier le Roux (1217 – 8 octobre 1286, château de L'Isle), fut duc de Bretagne (1237-1286), et comte de Richmond en 1268.
Il était le fils de Pierre Mauclerc, baillistre de Bretagne et d'Alix de Thouars.
Biographie
Il devint duc de Bretagne en titre en 1221, à la mort de sa mère, mais, comme il était âgé de quatre ans, son père assura la régence. Jean fit ses premières armes en 1232, son père ayant à réprimer des révoltes de ses barons. En 1237, il prend personnellement le gouvernement du duché, et doit réprimer la révolte d’un de ses vassaux, Pierre de Craon. En 1242, il lutte en Poitou pour le compte du roi de France et soumet le comte de la Marche.
Il eut de nombreux démêlés avec le clergé et la noblesse bretonne. En conflit avec l’évêque de Nantes, il fut excommunié par les évêques bretons et finit par se soumettre ; mais les nobles, le voyant favoriser les prêtres, prirent les armes à leur tour (1257). Jean finit par les soumettre.
Il accompagna ensuite saint Louis à la huitième croisade (1270), échappa à la peste qui tua le roi et revint dans son duché.
