Siege of Breteuil

The siege of Breteuil was the investment (surrounding) of the Norman town of Breteuil, held by partisans of King Charles II of Navarre, by French forces between April and about 20 August 1356. It was interrupted on 5 July when a small English army commanded by Henry, Earl of Lancaster, relieved and resupplied the town. The French king, John II, attempted to bring Lancaster to battle with the much larger French royal army, but Lancaster avoided this. John then renewed the siege of Breteuil.
