text_original: The truce brought anything but peace to France, which, as after Bretigny, was wasted by bands of professional soldiers, Ecorcheurs as they were now called, because they skinned their victims to the very shirt ; but at least it gave Charles time to recon  struct his army, to restore financial order, and to get a control over the government. Thus when hostilities were renewed he was better able to face them.
