Reginald III or Renaud III (c. 1093 – 1148), son of Stephen I (Tête-hardi) and Beatrix 
of Lorraine, was the count of Burgundy between 1127 and 1148. Previously, he had 
been the count of Mâcon since his father's death in 1102, with his brother, William of 
Vienne.

He proclaimed independence from the Holy Roman Emperor Lothair III, but was 
defeated by King Conrad III of Germany and forced to relinquish all his lands east of 
the Jura. The name of the region Franche-Comté is derived from his title, franc-
compte, meaning "free count".

In 1148, Reginald was traveling in France when he fell ill with multiple illnesses. He 
died so suddenly that he could not even appoint a regent for his young daughter.

Family[edit]

About 1130, he married the young Agatha (c. 1120- April 1147), daughter of Simon I, 
Duke of Lorraine. They had one daughter:
Beatrice (c. 1145 – 15 November 1184) married the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 
1156

Beatrice became countess of Burgundy on her father's death, although she was too 
young to actually govern the county.
