Battle of Agincourt

The Battle of Agincourt was fought on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War.The armies involved were those of the English King Henry V and Charles VI of France. Charles did not command his army himself, as he was incapacitated. The French were commanded by the Constable Charles d'Albret and various prominent French noblemen of the Armagnac party. The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which the English used in very large numbers, with longbowmen forming the vast majority of their army. The battle was also immortalised by William Shakespeare as the centrepiece of his play Henry V.

25 October 1415. The monumental battle between Henry V and the French forces arrayed against him, slaying three French dukes , the constable of France, nine counts , 90 lords and more than 5,000 knights . The battle crushed the French resistance to Henry’s renewed claim to the French throne, resulting in the Treaty of Troyes, 1420, in which Henry was betrothed to Catherine and thus their heir of France. It was this battle that Shakespeare immortalized in his "Saint Crispen’s Day" speech in Henry V.
