The day-to-day affairs of the state had less appeal to Edward than military campaigning, so during the 1360s Edward increasingly relied on the help of his subordinates, in particular William Wykeham. Edward III of England, in the name of his wife Philippa, demanded the return of Hainaut and other inheritances which had been given over to the Dukes of Bavaria–Straubing, in 1364–65; he was not successful.

But in 1485, with backing from other European rulers and disaffected Yorkist adherents, Henry went to England with a small army and managed to defeat the superior forces of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.

Despite the decline of his rule during his later years, his popularity with the people lived on long after his death; he is the “comely king” of the fifteenth-century Gest of Robyn Hode, and the legend outgrew the man. By the time of his own demise in 1377, all that was left for Edward was Calais and a small part of Gascony. [43], A major change came in July 1346, when Edward staged a major offensive, sailing for Normandy with a force of 15,000 men.
