Description
Agincourt: A New Interpretation of Henry V's Great Victory The Battle of Agincourt is one of the most famous battles in English history, and its legacy continues to captivate audiences around the world. This groundbreaking study by Michael Livingston presents a fresh perspective on the events leading up to the battle and its aftermath. In 1415, King Henry V led his army into France, despite being outnumbered and outgunned. The French had assembled a superior force, but Henry's decision to march across Normandy to Calais proved to be a turning point in the conflict. The resulting battle was an overwhelming victory for the English, with horrific casualties on both sides. Livingston draws on original sources, including the French battle plan that still survives today, to challenge traditional views of the battlefield and provide new insights into the men who fought and died at Agincourt.
