Agincourt; the place where Henry V decided to test just how strong his plot armour really was.

[JohnnyElRed]

Seriously: how many times are French knights going to commit the same mistake over, and over, and over again? Either against the English, the Ottomans, or whoever crosses their paths.
Guys, the fact that you have one of the best cavalry forces in the world, doesn't mean you have to throw them against literally everything without a care on the world. Wouldn't surprise me if they had tried to use them against a walled city.

[brbrbrbreannad]

Wait, so this guy lead an army to victory when he was 16, got a cool scar from it, and later won an upset victory in which his crown was broken? He needs to save some of that main character energy for the rest of us.

Every time I hear of Agincourt, I remember Kenneth Branagh 'Henry V' film. That movie and Branagh's incredible delivery of the St. Crispin's Day speech are what made me interested in learning about the Hundred Years' War.

The Burgundian knights that looted Henry’s crown were probably like, “Got your hat!”

Bruh, I feel bad for the farmer who just plowed their field just for some Kings to have an ego battle on it and leave it laced with blood, bodies and weapons. Tough luck bro.

One of the things that really bugs me about the movie "The King" is how much agency it takes away from Henry V by depicting him as an inexperienced boy king and semi-pacifist who's actions are almost all determined by his advisors. The film basically ignores most of the relevant history of Henry's upbringing and the fact that he had over a decade of both military and political experience before assuming the throne and was 11 years the senior of the Dauphin (who wasn't even at Agincourt historically). Worst yet, Henry doesn't even command the the center of his army at Agincourt and is instead put in charge of a detachment of soldiers hiding out in the forest.

The last time I was this early, William the Conqueror was still called William the Bastard.

A battle in which archers made the difference? Fascinating :)

"This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother." -Henry V, William Shakespeare

[cristhian]

That was an extreme change for Henry the V. Almost as if he was a Crusaders Kings character and when he became king a player took over... sus.

When you have already watched the battle of Agincourt on History Marche !!!
But still want to taste the Kings & Generals version ...

[Jazmillenium]

Some of the descriptions I've heard of how the French died are horrifying, particularly the drowning and suffocation. What an awful battle to be caught up in.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother;

An "After Ajincourt" documentry would be amazing as Henry V was probably the best English king and his feats after Ajincourt were incredibly impressive with some interesting stories such as the battle at Paris where the Duke of Burgandy got involved to defeat Henry V until someone's head got bludgeoned by their own men and so he turned away guaranteeing an English victory, and an interesting approach to governmental rule by Henry V afterwards
