Robert VI of Auvergne

Robert VI (1250–1314) inherited the lordship of Combrailles under his father Robert V's will of 1277 and succeeded his brother William XI as count of Auvergne and Boulogne in 1280. Before 1282 he married Beatrice of Montgascon, who bore him his heir Robert VII.

A soldier-count, he served Philip IV in the Franco-Flemish War from 1297, fighting at Courtrai in 1302 and at Mons-en-Pévèle in 1304. In 1308 he escorted the future Louis X to Pamplona for the succession to Navarre.
