Robert II, Duke of Burgundy

Blanche, Countess of Savoy Margaret, Queen of France Joan, Queen of France Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy Louis, Prince of Achaea Robert II (1248 – 21 March 1306) was Duke of Burgundy between 1272 and 1306 as well as titular king of Thessalonica.

Robert was the third son of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy, and Yolande of Dreux.

He married Agnes, youngest daughter of Louis IX of France, in 1279. They had the following children:

Hugh V, Duke of Burgundy (1294–1315)
Blanche (1288–1348), married Edward, Count of Savoy
Margaret (1290–1315), married king Louis X of France
Joan (1293–1348), married count of Maine and Valois, king Philip VI of France
Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy (1295–1349/1350)
Louis, Prince of Achaea (1297–1316), married Matilda of Hainaut
Mary (1298–1336) married Edward I, Count of Bar
Robert, Count of Tonnerre (1302–1334), married Joanna, heiress of Tonnerre

In 1284, Robert was invested with the duchy of Dauphiné by Rudolf of Habsburg. This was followed by two years of warfare which was ended when King PhilipIV of France paid Robert 20,000 livres tournois to renounce his claim to the Dauphiné. He was among the French negotiators for the 1303 Treaty of Paris that ended the 1294–1303 Gascon War.

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 entire duchy (albeit diminished by earlier dowries) passed via primogeniture unfragmented to the duke's eldest son.
