The Battle Of Agincourt - 3/5

Wonderful material. Watched it twice ... 3 times. So boring, went to sleep each time. Wonderful material ... ghastly production.

What a load of bollocks. Those tests were completely flawed as stated below.

Doesn't matter what they say, their arrow test was extremely flawed! Why? Because when they dropped that arrow onto the metal plate it was backed by another piece of metal! Of course the arrow is going to bend - there was no place for the metal to give.  The test was flawed. Also, if these testers believe what they are saying, they'd put on a piece of plate armor and allow a skilled archer with an english War Bow shoot a war bodkin at them and not some flimsy soft iron based tipped arrow.

I agree that the tests are flawed. However, the block behind the steel plate was clay.

1. They can't say that even a fourth of the French force was wearing steel.
2. They are just trying to mess with history.
3. They can't accurately determine the strength and speed of an early 15th century longbow based on a fake 21st century one with a 21st century arrow and an old man to test it.

the Frencs did what they do best on battle, fuckt up and lost!!

What I find funny, is how they're trying to "accurately measure" the speed of an arrow coming off a Longbow, by some 60 year old wannabe. English Archers in medieval times, were ridiculously muscular, because the draw weight for the Longbow was around 140 pounds. Longbowmen pulled the string back to their EAR, not their EYE like this old codger in the video. That old man doesn't even compare to a medieval age English Archer. What a disgrace.
