Raoul II of Brienne, count of Guines and Eu (d. 1350)

Son of Raoul I of Brienne, count of Guines and Eu. He succeded as counts to these two counties and also received the office of constable of France, which his father had held until his death in 1344. He married Catherine of Savoy in 1340. In 1350 he was suspected of treason apparently because he had sold his county of Guines. He was imprisoned by King John II and executed on 19 November 1350 in the Hôtel de Nesle in Paris.
