Edward III's chevauchée of 1355 took place when King Edward III of England led an army into Picardy in the hope of provoking the French into a battle.

Edward's son The Black Prince had begun a chevauchée on 5 October with an Anglo-Gascon force from Bordeaux heading towards Narbonne.

On 2 November 1355 King Edward III of England led an army[1] of 9,000–10,000 men[2] from the English enclave of Calais into French-held Picardy.

[3] John declined, ordering a scorched earth policy[4] and harassing the English communications.

[1] After reaching Hesdin Edward returned to Calais on 11 November.
