Conan III van Bretagne (1105-17 september 1148), bijg. de Dikke, was een zoon van Alan IV van Bretagne en Ermengarde van Anjou. Hij volgde zijn vader in 1112 op als hertog van Bretagne. Hij sloot een bondgenootschap met Lodewijk VI van Frankrijk, zodat hij geen gevaar in het oosten te vrezen had. Alhoewel hij getrouwd was met Mathildis, een natuurlijke dochter van Hendrik I van Engeland, streed zijn leger samen met dit van Lodewijk VI van Frankrijk tegen Engeland. Op zijn sterfbed ontkende hij het vaderschap van zijn zoon Hoël en duidde hij zijn kleinzoon Conan IV, de zoon van zijn dochter Bertha, aan als zijn erfgenaam, waardoor een zware opvolgingscrisis ontstond.
King Henry is famed for holding the record for more than twenty acknowledged illegitimate children, the largest number born to any English king; they turned out to be significant political assets in subsequent years, his bastard daughters cementing alliances with a flock of lords whose lands bordered Henry's.[10] He had many mistresses, and identifying which mistress is the mother of which child is difficult. His illegitimate offspring for whom there is documentation are:
- Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester. b. 1090 Often said to have been a son of Sybil Corbet.
«b»- Maud FitzRoy, married 1113 Conan III, Duke of Brittany
«/b»- Constance or Maud FitzRoy, married 1122 Roscelin, Viscount de Beaumont (died ca. 1176)
- Mabel FitzRoy, married William III Gouet
- Alice FitzRoy, married Matthieu I of Montmorency and had two children Bouchard V de Montmorency ca 1130-1189 who married Laurence, daughter of Baldwin IV of Hainault and had issue and Mattheiu who married Matilda of Garlande and had issue. -Mattheiu I went on to marry Adelaide of Maurienne.
- Gilbert FitzRoy, died after 1142. His mother may have been a sister of Walter de Gand.
- Emma, married Guy de Laval IV, Lord Laval.[11] This is based on epitaphs maintained in the chapterhouse of Clermont Abbey which appear to refer to Emma as the daughter of a king. There may be some confusion here, however, in that Guy's son, Guy de Laval V, was also married to an Emma who described herself as the daughter of Reginald de Dunstanville, Earl of Cornwall, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I as noted below. Additionally, if the elder Emma was also an illegitimate child of Henry I, this would make Guy and his wife Emma first cousins, something that casts more doubt on the claim.
