Louis was a son of Robert III, Count of Flanders,[1] and Yolande, Countess of Nevers.[2] He succeeded his parents as Count of Nevers. In December 1290, he married Joan, Countess of Rethel,[3] and thus became her co-ruler in the County of Rethel. They had two children:
- Joanna of Flanders
- Louis I, Count of Flanders,[3] Nevers and Rethel
He died in Paris shortly before his father and thus never succeeded his father as Count of Flanders.
