Thomas Montacute Earl of Salisbury, advancing south from Alencon in northwestern France, took several towns, then besieged Fresnay. A large Franco-Scottish relief force marching north from Le Mans under Marshal Pierre de Rieux (alias Rochefort) was routed by John Holland Earl of Huntingdon, who inflicted perhaps 3,000 casualties. Rieux was captured and Fresnay surrendered.
