John of Artois, Count of Eu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John of Artois (September 29, 13211387), called "sans Terre" (Lackland), was the son of Robert III of Artois and Jeanne of Valois. The confiscation of his father's goods for attempted fraud in 1331 had left him without an inheritance.

In 1352, he was created Count of Eu, which had been confiscated at the execution of the previous holder, Raoul II of Brienne. He fought at the Battle of Poitiers, and was captured there by the English.

He married Isabeau of Melun (13281389), daughter of John I of Melun, Count of Tancarville, on July 11, 1352 and had the following issue:
