Biography
John of Artois (29 August 1321 – 1387), called "sans Terre" (Landless), was the son of Robert III of Artois and Joan of Valois. The confiscation of his father's lands, titles, and goods for attempted fraud in 1331 had left him without an inheritance.
In 1352, John was created Count of Eu by King John II of France, a title earlier forfeited at the execution of the previous holder, Raoul II of Brienne. He was badly wounded at the Battle of Poitiers on 19 September 1356 and was captured there by the English.
