Robert II (died c. 1095) was a count of Auvergne from circa 1060 until his death.
Life
He was the son of William V of Auvergne and Philipa of Gévaudan.[1][2][3]
He married Bertha of Rouergue, daughter of Hugh of Rouergue, count of Rouergue and Gévaudan.[2][4] Since Bertha inherited the county of Rouergue and Gévaudan from her father, Robert became count jure uxoris.[2]
Around 1060 he succeeded his father as Count of Auvergne.[2]
After the death of his wife, Robert lost the title of count of Rouergue, but kept the county of Gévaudan.[2]
He then married Judith of Melgueil, daughter of Raymond I, count of Melgueil.[2][5][6]
He died around 1095.[2]
Issue
Robert and Judith had two children:
- William VI, who inherithed the county of Auvergne;[2][7]
- Judith (died 1110s), who became a nun at La Chaise-Dieu.[2]
