Agincourt wasn't won due to the English longbow, it was won due to deceptively waterlogged terrain that bogged down the French heavy cavalry and stuck their armored knights fast in the mud so that the leather clad, nimble archers could move among the debilitated soldiers with their swords in relative ease, striking them down as they struggled to rise from the muck.

3:47 Why does the man getting beheaded look happy?

As always, British historiography dwells at length on the battles of Crcéy and Azincourt, a little on Joan of Arc (‘the French saved by a woman, LOL’), but never on the final years of the war, when they lost all their possessions on the continent thanks to the innovative tactics and reforms of the French. Who knows about the _compagnies d'ordonnance_, the Bureau brothers or the role of the dukes of Burgundy in Great Britain?

Great video, thanks. But the best book on the subject: "A Distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman. Without any doubt.

Good video, but I disagree with the notion that Richard III of England was deposed because of his pursuit of peace with France. I believe the primary reason he was deposed was that English nobility were no longer willing to tolerate his oppressive treatment of them.
