The enmity with John II "The Good" of France, 1353-1354, John II (1350-1364), whose daughter Joanna Don Carlos married in 1352, did not respect the rights of the Navarrese to his patrimonial assets in the hexagon. Thus he gave (23 December 1350) the Duchy of Angoulême to his favourite, the Constable Charles of Spain, son of Alfonso de la Cerda. Charles II's parents had acquired Angoulême in exchange for Champagne and Brie, since the latter, Don Carlos's patrimony to Joanna, were forbidden to her by French salic law. Challenging the application of a foreign law, Charles claimed these assets and, when his was denied, he sent a secret commission, like a commando - the Navarrese knights Corbarán de Lehet, Juan Ramírez de Arellano, barons of Garro y Artieda and Rodrigo Uriz - which killed the favourite in his own bed (Laigle, 1354). The event aroused the wrath of the King of France. War broke out in Normandy, a Navarrese possession. Charles was summoned, as a vassal of John in his French possessions, to appear before the Parliament of Paris, which the Navarrese, chivalrously, did, facing the death penalty. This was later commuted for a large sum of money, and Charles returned to Navarre in April 1354. From then on, the hatred the two monarchs was eternal. Charles sought an alliance with the French's worst enemy: England. A division of France was stipulated, leaving Normandy, Champagne, Brie, Chartres, Languedoc and Bigorra for Charles.
