Logroño

He left Castilian garrisons in the main towns he had conquered inside Navarre, but then paid off the rest of his men, telling them to return home to Castile for the winter.

Juan himself withdrew out of Navarre to the town of Logroño, which was on the border between Navarre and Castile on the River Ebro, with the idea that he would restart the Castilian annexation of Navarre in the spring.

Back in Pamplona, the Navarrese Cortes granted King Carlos a chunk of money to be spent on repairs and reconstruction inside the kingdom's capital city.

In true Carlos the Bad style, he instead spent most of the money paying off his French mercenary fighters.

However, instead of Sir John Neville, or even the captain of the forces currently in Navarre, Sir Thomas Trivet, the person who turned up in Barcelona to speak with the King of Aragon was merely a French lawyer from Gascony, who acted as an advisor to the English commanders in France on Spanish affairs.

Possibly miffed by this, King Pedro turned down England's request, pointing out that the Castilians were no longer posing a threat to Navarre and stating that he would revisit the matter again in spring the next year if the Castilians invaded once again.

In February of the year 1379, King Enrique of Castile announced that his son Juan would indeed be resuming Castile's offensive against Navarre, and he ordered the Castilian army to get ready to muster at Logroño in April.

When word of this reached Carlos the Bad, he decided to wave the white flag.

"Relay this message to your king.

It is Antonia Gavilán de Logroño, and I am returned."

Wow, you really weren't good at Spanish, huh?

No.

... good.

And I'm like, what are you doing here? They're like, we're here because it was the World Championships of Ultimate Frisbee.

We definitely will not underestimate them, but it's going to be a tough, definitely a tough fixture for sure.

After Paris, we're away at Logroño in the north of Spain.

And then it's away at Roma for Champions League on September 30th.

And then October 1st, it's the, entre comillas, in quotes, Clásico against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou.
