{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2024}}
King John surrendered by handing him his glove. That night King John dined in the red silk tent of his enemy. The Black Prince attended to him personally. He was then taken to [[Bordeaux]], and from there to [[England]]. The Battle of Poitiers would be one of the major military disasters not just for France, but at any time during the Middle Ages.

While negotiating a peace accord, John was at first held in the [[Savoy Palace]], then at a variety of locations, including [[Windsor Castle|Windsor]], [[Hertford Castle|Hertford]], [[Somerton Castle]] in [[Lincolnshire]], [[Berkhamsted Castle]] in [[Hertfordshire]], and briefly at King John's Lodge, formerly known as Shortridges, in [[East Sussex]]. Eventually, John was taken to the [[Tower of London]].<ref>{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=John II. of France|volume=15|pages=441–442}}</ref>
