The truce that did not stop the fightingSourced
England and France signed a truce in 1343. Brittany kept fighting.
The Truce of Malestroit froze each side's holdings and promised talks toward lasting peace. Neither monarch negotiated in good faith, and the Breton Civil War continued through small sieges and skirmishes despite the agreement.
A signed truce and a quiet battlefield were different things.
