John of Artois (29 September 1321 – 1387) called sans Terre (Lackland) was the son of Robert III of Artois and Jeanne of Valois. The confiscation of his father’s goods for attempted fraud in 1331 had left him without an inheritance.In 1352 he was created Count of Eu a title earlier forfeited at the execution of the previous holder Raoul II of Brienne. He was badly wounded at the Battle of Poitiers on 19 September 1356 and was captured there by the English.
