Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARLES III . or II. (1543-1608), called THE
GREAT
 , duke of
Lorraine
 , was a son of Duke Francis I. (d. 1545), and a descendant of Rene of Anjou. He was only an infant when he became duke, and was brought up at the court of
Henry
  II. of France, marrying
Henry
 's daughter Claude in 1559. He took part in the wars of religion in France, and was a member of the League; but he was overshadowed by his kinsmen the Guises, although he was a possible candidate for the French crown in 1589. The duke, who was an excellent ruler of
Lorraine
 , died at
Nancy
  on the 14th of May 16o8. He had three sons: Henry (d. 1624) and Francis (d. 1632), who became in turn dukes of Lorraine, and Charles (d. 1607),
bishop
  of Metz and Strassburg.
