At the conclusion of a five-year truce, France invaded English Normandy and Sir Thomas Kyriel took a fresh army to support Edmund Beaufort Duke of Somerset. Marching from Cherbourg to relieve Caen, Kyriel was routed and captured at Formigny by Count Arthur of Richemont and Count Charles of Clermont. Defeat at Formigny led directly to England losing Normandy.
