Robert I of Artois was a French nobleman born in 1250, known for his role as the Count of Artois. He was the son of Robert II of Artois and Mahaut of Artois, and he inherited the title after his father's death. Robert was a prominent figure during the Capetian dynasty and was involved in various military campaigns, including the Seventh Crusade. He is perhaps best remembered for his participation in the Hundred Years' War, where he fought for the French crown. Robert I died in 1302 at the Battle of Courtrai, a significant conflict against the Flemish forces. His legacy is tied to the history of Artois and the broader struggles of medieval France.
