Stephen II, Count of Sancerre

Stephen II (1252–1306) was Count of Sancerre, eldest son of Count John I and Marie de Vierzon, inheriting the county around 1284. A noted tournament knight, he jousted at Cambrai in 1269 and faced Geoffrey of Apremont at Chauvency in 1285.

He served in the French army in the Flemish war of 1297–1302; after Courtrai he defended Lille against the Flemings. With no relief, he negotiated its surrender with John of Namur on 6 August 1302. He died childless in May 1306, and his brother John II succeeded him.
