The English army did not seek battle with the French, did not invade the Duchy of Normandy and marched south to the County of Poitou.

The campaign on the continent ended in a fiasco and Henry made a truce with Louis IX of France and returned to England.

The next day (3 May) the English army landed at Saint-Malo, where Peter de Dreux, Duke of Brittany met Henry.

[6] On 8 May Henry proceeded to Dinan and thence to Nantes, where he hoped to meet his mother Isabella of Angoulême and her new husband Hugh X of Lusignan, Count of La Marche.

The Poitevin lords generally did him homage, Hugh X of Lusignan, Count of La Marche showed some hesitation, and the Guy I, Viscount of Thouars took the side of Louis.
