Nájera was a stunning military victory, but the prince had terribly miscalculated. Nájera is one of the clearest examples in medieval history of a tactical victory which proved to be a strategic defeat.

On 3 April 1367, at Nájera, the (Black) prince and his Gascon army inflicted a crushing defeat on Enrique de Trastámara, who almost alone escaped the carnage and arrest of his army. Du Guesclin himself was captured, as well as Marshal Audrehem, whom the prince had previously captured and ransomed once already, at Poitiers.

The first phase of the war was essentially a war of rival between Edward III and Philip de Valois, in which Edward's claim wa a means to an end, not an end in itself (unlike later stages of the conflict).

Bue Edward did believe in the connection between God's will and the weather, six thousand dead horses and up to one thousand dead men in a hailstorm was a clear indication that God was not pleased.

At Westminster in 1351 Edward made a breakthrough, introducing what was probably the first English bathroom with hot and cold running water with one bronze tap for hot and another for cold.
