Louis VIII then engaged in a crusade against the Cathars (Albigensians) and took control of Languedoc (1226) but fell ill and died on the return journey. In 1225, he granted land to his sons in appanage. Robert received the Artois area, Alphonse the Poitou region and Jean the Anjou and Maine areas (which were later granted to Charles).
