On June 9th, Dagworth's force was attacked by Charles' much larger army at Saint-Pol-de-Léon. Though almost surrounded, the longbowmen won the day for the English force. The next year he claimed an even more famous victory at la Roche-Derrien, where Charles of Blois was captured.

He was was killed in an ambush in 1352 by Bretons unhappy with the English presence.

In 1340 he had married Eleanor de Bohun, the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.
