Gaillard III de Durfort [a] ( Occitan: Galhart, Latin: Galhardus de Durefort; fl. 1414–1442 [4]) was a Gascon nobleman of the Durfort family. He inherited the lordship of Duras and Blanquefort from his father, Gaillard II, in 1422. [5] In the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Gaillard took the side of the English king, who was the feudal suzerain of Gascony. [2]
In 1423, King Henry VI of England appointed Gaillard prévôt of Bayonne, [5] [2] a charge he handed over to Guillaume Stone at the king's request in 1439. [6] In 1434, he served as seneschal of the Landes for the English. In 1436, he signed a contract to fight as an ally (allié) of John I, Count of Foix, and his son, Gaston IV, themselves major supporters of Henry VI. [2]
Gaillard married Indie de La Lande [b] and had one son, Gaillard IV, who spent his childhood in London. [7]
Gaillard III is last mentioned in a document of 1442 and he was dead by 1444. [4]
