Overview
In October 1415, after his successful siege of Harfleur, Henry V marched his force of 6000 men back towards Calais. Isolated, short of food, and after marching 14 miles per day through torrential rain, the English finally encountered a French force at Agincourt which outnumbered them by more than 3 to 1. The battle which followed has become almost legendary. Through superior tactics and the skill of their bowmen, the English snatched victory from the over-impetuous French with minimal casualties, and killed or captured over six thousand of their attackers. In this volume of Richard Holmes's Fields of Battle series, Matthew Bennett takes a fresh new look at this famous battle.
