# Guihomar III, Viscount of Léon

Guihomar III of Léon (c. 1087–1157) was a Viscount of Léon. He succeeded his father Harvey I.

## Life

Very few things are known about Guihomar III’s life.

His name appears firstly in the charter of foundation of the priory Saint-Martin of Morlaix made by his father in 1128.

He is also cited in the charter of the foundation of the priory of Saint-Melaine of Morlaix (c. 1145-1147) made by his son Harvey II, who mentions “pater meus G. vicecomes”.

## Issue

The name of Guihomar’s wife is not known. They had two sons :

* Harvey II who succeeded his father and married Sybilla, an illegitimate daughter of King Stephen.
* Guihomar, mentioned in 1164 with his son Josselin Léa Chaillou, believes that this is a misreading of the charter and that Josselin was not related to the de Léon family.
