Philip of Artois (November 1269 – 11 September 1298) was the son of Robert II of Artois, Count of Artois, and Amicie de Courtenay.[1] He was the Lord of Conches, Nonancourt, and Domfront.
He married Blanche of Brittany,[2] daughter of John II, Duke of Brittany,[3] and had the following children:
- Margaret (1285–1311), married in 1301 Louis, Count of Évreux
- Robert III of Artois (1287–1342)[4]
- Isabelle (1288–1344), a nun at Poissy
- Joan of Artois (1289 – aft. 1350), married Gaston I, Count of Foix, in Senlis in 1301
- Othon (died 2 November 1291)
- Marie of Artois (1291 – 22 January 1365, Wijnendaele), Lady of Merode, married in 1309 in Paris John I, Marquis of Namur
- Catherine (1296–1368, Normandy), married John II of Ponthieu, Count of Aumale
He served under his father at the Battle of Furnes, where he was wounded.[5] He never recovered, and died of the effects over a year later.[5] He was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris. His premature death led to a legal battle later, when the County of Artois was left to his elder sister Mahaut of Artois rather than his eldest son Robert III.
