Robert V of Auvergne (c. 122511 January 1277) was count of Auvergne from 1247 and Boulogne from 1265 until his death.
Robert was the first-born son of the count of Auverge William X and the countess of Boulogne Adelaide of Brabant.[1] His parents married before 1225, renouncing every right they had on the duchy of Lower Lorraine,[2] that they had since Adelaide was the daughter Henry I, Duke of Lower Lorraine.
In 1247, William X died and Robert inherited the county of Auvergne. His mother remarried with Arnold II of Wezemaal. The two guaranteed Robert that they would not demand any of the possessions he inherited from his father.[3]
In 1259, Matilda II, Countess of Boulogne died.[4] The Parlement of Paris ruled that her title would be inherited by Robert's mother, Adelaide. When she died, in 1265, the tile passed to Robert himself.
In 1245, Robert married Èleonore of Baffie,[5] daughter of William "the Elder" of Baffie and his wife, whose name is unknown.[6] They had six children:
