Who was Robert II, Duke of Burgundy?
Robert II of Burgundy was duke of Burgundy between 1272 and 1306, inheriting the title from his brother Eudes of Burgundy, who had no male heirs. Robert was the third son of duke Hugh IV and Yolande of Dreux. Robert married princess Agnes of France, youngest daughter of king Louis IX in 1279 and had the following issue:
Hugh V, Duke of Burgundy
Blanche, married Edward, Count of Savoy
Margaret, married king Louis X of France
Joan, married count of Maine and Valois, king Philip VI of France
Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy
Louis, King of Thessalonica, married Matilda of Hainaut
Mary married Edward I, Count of Bar
Robert, Count of Tonnerre, married Joanna, heiress of Tonnerre
Robert ended the practice of giving away parts of the Burgundian estate to younger sons and as dowries to the daughters. From then on, the whole duchy, however already diminished by earlier dowries, passed unfragmented to the eldest son.
