A French force of 2,500–3,000 men under Jean de Rieux landed at Milford Haven in August 1405 in support of Glyndŵr.

The French returned home having accomplished nothing strategically decisive, though the episode demonstrated that Glyndŵr's alliance with France was real and had international strategic implications.
