count of Foix Gaston III Phoebus

1331–1391

A powerful medieval ruler, soldier, and writer, he is best remembered as Gaston Fébus, the brilliant and formidable Count of Foix and Viscount of Béarn. His fame rests not only on his political skill and battlefield reputation, but also on his celebrated hunting manual, one of the best-known works of its kind from the Middle Ages.
