Battle of Agincourt October 25th 1415.
Fought during the Hundred years war. at the
end of the English Invasion of 1415. King Henry the V of England after his
conquest of Harfleur marched his army of 1,000 Knights and 5,000 Archers (many
of which were Welsh) towards Calais. He marched to Amiens as flooding had caused the river at the Somme
which was the direct route. This delay gave the French army of 20,000
strong under the command of the Constable Charles d'Albret and Marshal Jean
Bouciquaut II. The French army blocked Henry V route to Calais. Giving the English
no choice but to fight. Henry V positioned his army at Agincourt, between to
wooded areas giving a frontage of 1100 metres. Henry deployed his force into
three Divisions each group had archers at each flank. He had chosen his
position well, in front of his army was ploughed fields and due to the heavy raid
was very muddy. Due to the narrow battlefield area the French army lost
there advantage of superior numbers. At 11 o'clock the English
started to advance their archers within 2509 years of the French, getting them
into range of the French lines. The French line of Cavalry advanced at a slow
pass due to the heavy mud, They took heavy losses from the arrows from the English
Long Bowman. They were eventually repulsed by the Archers who as the French cavalry approached changed from using longbows for Axes and and
swords. The French second Cavalry line advanced only to be finally
repulsed after hand to hand fighting. The commander Duc d'AAlencon was killed in
the attack. The second charge had failed and many of the French
knights were taken prisoner. Believing he had been attacked in the rear
Henry V ordered that the prisoners were to be put to death. In fact There was no
real rear attack it was French Camp Followers plundering the English Camp.
The French camp Followers were quickly dealt with and the English again prepared
itself for the next attack. The third attack never materialized as the sight of
so much blood shed and piles of corpses turned the charge into
a retreat. The English had won the Day with losses less than
1600. compared to the French losses of over 7,000 including the capture of
Bouciquaut (D'Albret had been killed earlier in the charge). Henry
V, his way now cleared reached Calais on the 16th November
1415. Agincourt is one of the great Battles of Military
History, and this victory enabled Henry V to return to France in 1417 and
conquer all of Normandy.

Agincourt 1415
Immortalized by
Shakespeare, Agincourt is an epic of courage and hard fighting. Brought to
bay after the long siege of Harfleur, Henry V's army was soaked, starving
and riddled with disease, and facing a French army at odds of more than 3
to 1. How the English beat off their attackers and slaughtered the flower
of French nobility is vividly described in this volume. Matthew Bennett is
a lecturer at the RMA Sandhurst and a specialist in medieval military
history.

The Agincourt War
by Lt-Col Alfred H. Burne
This companion volume to the Crecy War (also published by Wordsworth
Editions) is a military history of the latter part of the Hundred Years'
War form 1369 to 1453. It opens, following the death of the Black Prince,
with a series of reverses which contrast starkly with the earlier
victorious campaigns. The English cause languished until the spectacular
rise of Henry V and his crushing defeat of the French and victory at
Agincourt. Names familiar from Shakespeare's histories resound through
these pages - Chandos, Bedford, Salisbury, Talbot, du Guesclin and Joan of
Arc.
While the highlight of the book is the Battle of Agincourt, there
are a number of battles of almost equal military interest; indeed the
Battle of Verneuil has been described by a French writer as 'un seconde
Azincourt'.
