Summary

The sixth son of a saint-king, injured young and sidelined for life — yet his bloodline outlasted every elder brother's and became the House of Bourbon, which claimed the French throne nearly three centuries after his death.

Biography

About

Robert of Clermont was born in 1256, the youngest son of King Louis IX and Margaret of Provence. A head injury in his youth left him handicapped and pushed him to the margins of royal life; he was made Count of Clermont in 1268 but never rose to prominence. What mattered happened through his descendants. When the male lines from all five of his elder brothers died out in 1589 — nine generations down — the crown passed to his branch, the House of Bourbon. He died on 7 February 1317, having spent a quiet life that seeded a dynasty.
