The Battle of Agincourt took place on October 25, 1415, and was a turning point not only in the Hundred Years' War between England and France but also in the history of weaponry. The battle site, Azincourt, is located in the Pas-de-Calais region, and the French were defeated by an army led by Henry V. Henry V's stunning victory revived England's military dignity and significantly strengthened his territorial claims in France. The exhausted English army, with about 9,000 men, faced 20,000 French, but the restricted battlefield space favored the more compact English forces. The indifferent French attacks combined with the exceptional skill of the English archers contributed to a critical moment in European warfare. None of the 1,600 English soldiers were killed, while the French likely lost over 6,000 men. Juliet Barker's outstanding narrative honors and analyzes a defining battle in British history.
