Count of Évreux

Louis had a quiet and reflective personality and was politically opposed to the scheming of his half-brother Charles of Valois. He was, however, close with his nephew Philip V of France.

He married Margaret of Artois,[2] daughter of Philip of Artois and sister of Robert III of Artois, and had:

  1. Marie (1303 – 31 October 1335), married John III, Duke of Brabant in 1311[3]
  2. Charles (d. 1336), Count of Étampes[3] married Maria de la Cerda, Lady of Lunel, daughter of Fernando de la Cerda.
  3. Philip III of Navarre (1306–1343), married Joan II of Navarre.[4]
  4. Margaret (1307–1350), married in 1325 William XII of Auvergne[3]
  5. Joan (1310–1370), married Charles IV of France[4]
