A planned rising of his supporters in Normandy in May 1362 was an abject failure, but in 1363 he evolved an ambitious plan to form two armies in 1364, one of which would go by sea to Normandy and the other, under his brother Louis, would join forces with the Gascons operating with the Great Company in Central France and invade Burgundy, thus threatening the French King from both sides of his realm.
Planirani porast njegovih pristaša u Normandiji u svibnju 1362. bio je bijedni neuspjeh, ali godine 1363. je evoluirao ambiciozan plan za formiranje dviju vojski godine 1364., od kojih će jedna ići morem na Normandiju, a druga, pod njegovim bratom Louisom, će udružiti snage s Gaskonjcima koji djeluju s Velikim Društvom u srednjoj Francuskoj i upasti u Burgundiju, prijeteći time francuskom kralju s obje strane njegova kraljevstva.
