Philip of Artois (November 1269 – 11 September 1298), Lord of Conches, Nonancourt, and Domfront, was the son of Robert II, Count of Artois, and Amicie de Courtenay, daughter of Peter, Lord of Conches and Mehun.[1]
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 (1287–1342),[4] his heir
- Isabelle (1288–1344), a nun at Poissy
- Joan (1289–aft. 1350), married Gaston I, Count of Foix, in Senlis in 1301
- Othon (died 2 November 1291)
- Marie (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, Count of Aumale
Philip served under his father at the Battle of Furnes on 20 August 1297, where he was wounded.[5] He never recovered and died of his injuries 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 following the death of his father in 1302, who had left the County of Artois to his elder sister, Mahaut, rather than his eldest son, Robert.
