Robert V of Auvergne (c. 1225 – 11 January 1277) was count of Auvergne from 1247 and Boulogne from 1265 until his death.

Life

[edit]

Robert was the first-born son of the count of Auverge William X and the countess of Boulogne Adelaide of Brabant.[1] His parents married before 1225, renouncing every right they had on the duchy of Lower Lorraine,[1][2] that they had since Adelaide was the daughter Henry I, Duke of Lower Lorraine.

In 1247, William X died and Robert inherited the county of Auvergne.[1] His mother remarried with Arnold II of Wezemaal.[1] The two guaranteed Robert that they would not demand any of the possessions he inherited from his father.[3]

In 1259, Matilda II, Countess of Boulogne died.[4] The Parlement of Paris ruled that her title would be inherited by Robert's mother, Adelaide.[citation needed] When she died, in 1265, the tile passed to Robert himself.[1]
