The Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock, sought to negotiate a truce with the French before the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 in an attempt to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and secure favorable terms for his side. He was aware of the strategic importance of maintaining morale among his troops and the potential benefits of a diplomatic resolution. However, the French refusal to accept his terms ultimately led to the confrontation that resulted in a significant English victory. This reflects the complexities of warfare during the Hundred Years' War, where diplomacy and military strategy often intersected.
