The people in this province turned to Charles to deliver them from this oppression.

He immediately summoned Prince Edward before the Court of Peers; to which the Black Prince replied that he would accept the invitation, but would come with his helmet on his head and sixty thousand men in his party.
So successfully did Charles and du Guesclin meet this renewal of the war that Prince Edward and his sixty thousand men were gradually driven north until the English possessions were reduced to a few towns upon the coast.

The Black Prince, under the weight of responsibility and defeat, succumbed to disease, and died, 1377.

The death of Edward III.
occurred soon after that of his son, and Richard II.

was King of England.
