Robert III of Artois

Robert III of Artois, born in the year one thousand two hundred eighty-seven, was a distinguished French nobleman hailing from the illustrious House of Artois. His noble lineage granted him the title of Lord of Conches-en-Ouche, Domfront, and Mehun-sur-Yèvre, showcasing his significant standing within the feudal hierarchy of France.

In the year one thousand three hundred nine, Robert received the county of Beaumont-le-Roger as an appanage, a restitution for his claims over the County of Artois. This acquisition not only solidified his status but also reflected the intricate political landscape of the time, where noble titles were often exchanged and contested.

Robert's influence extended beyond his initial titles, as he briefly held the esteemed position of Earl of Richmond in the year one thousand three hundred forty-one, following the death of John III, Duke of Brittany. This role further exemplified his prominence in the aristocratic circles of medieval France.
