The Chronique des comtes d´Eu, written in 1390, names "Raoul" as the son of "Raoul" and his wife "madame de Mello", adding in a later passage that he was "connestable de France ainsi comme son père l´avoit esté", that he was captured at Caen, held prisoner for three years in England, but was ransomed and returned to Paris in 1350[1499]. He succeeded his father as Comte d'Eu et de Guines. Constable of France 1344. The Chronique des comtes d´Eu, written in 1390, records that Jean II King of France granted the county of Eu to "messire Jehan d´Artois...fliz de messire Robert d´Artois" after the death of Raoul[1500].
