Robert III of Dreux

Robert III of Dreux, called Gasteblé or Wheat-Spoiler (1185–1234), was Count of Dreux and Braine and the eldest son of Robert II and Yolande of Coucy. His nickname came from a youthful hunt when he destroyed a field of wheat. In 1212 he fought under Prince Louis against the English, defending Nantes until he was captured; after Bouvines he was exchanged for the Earl of Salisbury.

He joined the Albigensian Crusade at the siege of Avignon in 1226. He was buried in the family necropolis at Braine in 1234.
