Bour de Breteuil fought at the battle of Brignais (6 April 1362) against the King of France in which a coalition of bandit companies were successful. Like the Bour Camus, he accompanied several of the bandit leaders including John Hawkwood, John Creswey and Robert Briquet, to accept a payment of gold from the king of France to go into Italy, where he gained employ as a mercenary.
