His second marriage to Joanna, Duchess of Durazzo, brought him the rights to Durazzo and the Kingdom of Albania, which he strove to recover.
He received assistance from both his brother and the king of France in this undertaking, for Durazzo( the remnant of the kingdom) was in the hands of Charles Thopia.
In 1372, he brought over the Navarrese Company of mercenaries, who had fought with him during the war in France, to assist him in taking Durazzo.
Their ranks swelled considerably in 1375 with new recruits directly from Navarre.
