  Robert went to the crusades with his brothers and died at Mansura in Egypt. He disobeyed orders and rushed with his men and lead them to destruction in the narrow streets of Mansurah.

  [edit] Life
  
  He received Artois as an appanage, in accordance with the will of his father (died 1226) on attaining his majority in 1237 (aged twenty-one). In 1240 Pope Gregory IX, in conflict with the Emperor Frederick II, offered to crown Robert as emperor in opposition to Frederick, but the French count refuse to pretend to such a title.
  [edit] Marriage
  
  On 14 June 1237 Robert married Matilda, daughter of Henry II of Brabant and Marie of Hohenstaufen.[2]
  
  They had two children:
  
  * Blanche (1248–1302)
  * Robert II (1250–1302), who succeeded to Artois after Robert I was killed in Egypt during the Seventh Crusade, led by his brother Louis IX of France.
  
  [edit] Death
  
  Robert died while leading a reckless attack on Al Mansurah. He and the Templars accompanying the expedition charged into the town and became trapped in the narrow streets. According to Jean de Joinville, he defended himself for some time in a house there, but was at last overpowered and killed. According to Matthew Paris, he fled in disgrace at the height of the battle , and drowned while trying to cross a river named Thanis (a branch of the Nile).
