Question:
The situation remained in stalemate for some time, with Charles of Blois as de facto duke, but with significant territory still controlled by the Montfortists. Outside events again began to have an effect on the conflict. A plague struck France and the king himself was captured by the English at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The French state was virtually paralysed. In 1362, when the younger John de Montfort reached 22 years of age, King Edward permitted him to return to Brittany. His return was conditioned by a covenant, the covenant not to marry without permission, given in pledge of several fortresses. On arrival, John attempted to reach agreement with Charles of Blois to make peace and share Brittany, but Charles's wife Joan urged him to resist and crush John. The war resumed in 1363 when Charles de Blois, assisted by Bertrand du Guesclin, had some successes, but when Bertrand left to take control of strongholds in Navarre and Normandy, Charles's advance halted at the unsuccessful siege of Becherel. Another opportunity to negotiate an agreement arose, but again Joan blocked negotiations. John de Montfort moved to besiege Auray with renowned English warlord John Chandos. Charles of Blois and Bertrand du Guesclin came to the rescue of the besieged city, but they were decisively defeated at the Battle of Auray on 29 September 1364. This battle marked the end of this long conflict: Charles of Blois was killed and Joan of Penthievre, finding herself a widow, saw her cause collapse. Du Guesclin was captured and ransomed by Charles V for 100,000 francs.

Who permitted the younger John de Montfort to return to Brittany?

Answer:
the king

Question:
The Jets' slate of regular season opponents was determined after the completion of the 2008 season. In addition to their traditional AFC East rivals, the team played opponents from the AFC South and NFC South divisions, and the third-place teams of the AFC West and AFC North, as determined by the NFL scheduling formula. Their schedule was released in full on April 14. Game times and channels from weeks 11, 12, and 14-17 were subject to change per the NFL's flexible scheduling policy. Some controversy ensued over the placement of the Jets' first two home games, coinciding with the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In response, the NFL moved the time of the game against the Tennessee Titans to 1:00pm Eastern. The Jets played a regular season game outside the United States for the first time when they played the Bills in Toronto; the game is the second in a five-year series of regular and preseason games the Bills are playing at the Rogers Centre. All games will be broadcast on 1050AM ESPN except for Week 13.

When did the Jet's game against the Titans start?

Answer:
1:00pm Eastern

Question:
Following the death of Ben Jonson in 1637, Davenant was named Poet Laureate in 1638. He was a supporter of King Charles I in the English Civil War. In 1641, before the war began, he was declared guilty of high treason by parliament along with John Suckling, after he participated in the First Army Plot, a Royalist plan to use the army to occupy London. He fled to France. Returning to join the king's army when the war started, he was knighted two years later by king Charles following the siege of Gloucester. In 1645, after the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Naseby, he retired to Paris, where he became a Roman Catholic and worked on his epic poem Gondibert. That same year he was appointed Emissary to France, and in 1649 was given the symbolic post of treasurer of the colony of Virginia by the exiled Charles II. The following year, he was made lieutenant governor of Maryland, but was captured at sea, imprisoned, and sentenced to death. He is said to have been saved by the intervention of John Milton. He spent all of 1651 in the Tower of London, where he continued writing Gondibert. On his release in 1652, he immediately published Gondibert, but he was only pardoned in 1654. In order to avoid the strict laws of censorship in force in all public places at the time, he turned a room of his home, Rutland House, into a private theatre where his works, and those of other writers considered seditious, could be performed. A performance of his The Siege of Rhodes at Rutland House in 1656 is considered to be the first performance of an English opera, and also included England's first known professional actress, Mrs Coleman.

What year was Davenant made lieutenant governor of Maryland?
