The <entity_4> was fought in early 1558 during the <entity_0>. The <entity_5> had been ruled by <entity_8> since 1347, during the <entity_2>. When the <entity_3> supported a Spanish invasion of <entity_10>, Henry II of <entity_10> sent Francis, Duke of Guise, against English-held <entity_9>, defended by Thomas Wentworth, 2nd Baron Wentworth. The victory of Louis XI of <entity_10> over Charles the Bold in 1477 and the annexation of <entity_7> to the French royal domain marked the end of a status quo over the possession of <entity_9>. <entity_10> had to fight the English on three occasions during the sixteenth century (1526, 1544, and 1547) when they attempted to extend the English possessions in <entity_7>. In these circumstances, Francis, Duke of Guise, who had raised an army and prepared to lead it in Italy, was recalled to <entity_7> and promoted to lieutenant-general of <entity_10>. To avoid the intervention of an English expeditionary force, King Henry II of <entity_10> arranged, in great secrecy, to attack <entity_9> in the winter with 30,000 men assembled at Compiegne, Montreuil-sur-Mer, and Boulogne-sur-Mer. Relieved by the long confrontation between Burgundy and <entity_10>, English rule over <entity_9> was able to flourish for 150 years. Henry II of <entity_10> arrived at <entity_9> on 23 <entity_6>. <entity_10> had reconquered the last territory it had lost in the <entity_2> and put an end to two centuries of fighting between <entity_8> and <entity_10>. Lord Wentworth, the governor of the city, and the English inhabitants of the <entity_5> returned to <entity_8>. In April 1559 the <entity_0> between <entity_10> and Spain (allied to <entity_8>) included recognition of <entity_9> as an English possession in temporary French custody pending a purchase price of half a million gold crowns to be paid by <entity_10> in eight years' time. However, in 1562 upon the outbreak of the <entity_1> <entity_8>'s new queen, Elizabeth I, revived her kingdom's claims to <entity_9> and occupied the French port of Le Havre in order to keep it until <entity_10> should restore <entity_9> French forces ejected the English in 1563, and the Treaty of Troyes (1564) effectively recognized French ownership of <entity_9> in exchange for payment to <entity_8> of 120,000 crowns.
