John of Artois, Count of Eu

John of Artois, Count of Eu

John of Artois (29 September 1321 – 1387), 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 (1328–1389), daughter of John I of Melun, Count of Tancarville, on 11 July 1352 and had the following issue:
* Jeanne (1353–1420), married at the Château d'Eu on 12 July 1365 Simon de Thouars (d. 1365), Count of Dreux
* John of Artois (1355–1363), Lord of Peronne
* Robert IV of Artois, Count of Eu (1356–1387)
* Philip of Artois, Count of Eu (1357–1397)
* Charles (1359 – 15 April 1368)
* Isabeau (1361 – 26 June 1379)
