They were already devastated by the black death: battle of poitiers. The black prince"s conquests culminated in another english victory at poitiers. Even their knightly chivalry: king jean ii. French king jean exemplified the old customs of chivalry. He was freed in exchange for his son louis. When louis escaped, john returned to english captivity. This was in exchange for relinquishing their northern gains. Charles v was known as the wise of france. Seized control of the channel and raided the english coast. 20 years of warfare failed to decide hostilities decisively either way. The black prince died before his own father: richard ii. The black prince"s son richard ii was crowned king at 10 years of age.
