 As this threat grew weaker the French offensive in the south was resumed with the siege of Penne-d'Agenais in November by John of Bohemia and the Count of Foix.John provided 1,200 men for this siege, which ended with the surrender of the town, though not the castle.Through these early years of the war the Count of Foix had conducted a series of independent campaigns which allowed him to expand his personal territory into the Adour valley and the Landes.
