Two, he would ally with England and seal the alliance by marrying John (the other John, the son of the John who had died, who was the half-brother of John) to Edward III's daughter. One, he would pay a ransom of 300,000 crowns. If he did two things, England would recognize him as the Duke of Brittany. In 1353 a treaty was signed and Charles was freed. Too bad this changed jack shit, but hey, at least we got a cool painting out of it. The end score was 6-9: knights and squires of Charles had killed nine montfortists and won. Or, well, it wasn't a battle but a large melee.
This didn't prevent one of the coolest medieval battles taking place: the Combat of the Thirty. The Pope pressured the French, Bretons and English to stop killing each other for once and make a truce in Brittany.
