~ William Arthur Ward

The Battle of Agincourt took place on the 25th of October of 1415 between the English and the French kingdoms, where the English claimed a decisive victory despite the fact that they were outnumbered.

The battle was one of the many over the period of Hundred year’ s war, a war which changed drastically the physiognomy of the two kingdoms, but it also brought a revolution to the European warfare.

Despite the importance of the war itself, the battle of Agincourt is remembered until today, not only for its importance as a battle but also because the common men of England and Wales stood together and managed to take down the royal army of France, against all odds.

That victory signalled the renewal of English claim over the French throne and levitated the spirit of the English, leading them to reclaim many areas of Northern France.
