Page "Breton War of Succession" Paragraph 11

In Paris, John of Montfort was released from prison 1 September 1343 in return for a huge bond and a promise to stay on his estates in the east.

The English coastal garrisons held firm, but the Montfortist party continued to crumble.

They had some successes, such as the expulsion of the papal custodians from Vannes, but with no unifying leadership, mostly they were reduced to pleading for men and money from London.
