A concise illustrated study of one of the most iconic battles in English history. King Henry V's forces were exhausted, hungry, and facing a French army three to six times larger. Nevertheless, they had several advantages, and the English victory resulted from the combined use of heavily armed knights and soldiers armed with the deadly longbow: the destruction caused by this weapon was crucial.
Using original 15th-century sources, including the surviving French battle plan and eyewitness accounts from men on both sides, this fully illustrated title features maps, photographs, and detailed original artwork. It discusses the preparation for the battle, the strategic deployment of both forces, and the reasons behind the ultimate victory of the English.
