I'd consider buying this book if he didn't harp on about the "English" archers and the "English" victory when it was a Welsh king and the battle was won thanks wholly to Welsh archery. The same Welsh archers who under Owain Glyndwr terrorised the English but who were now united with them. This is one of Britain's great victories, not England's.

@Southland27 Read up on the end of the Battle!

@Weston1968 I don't understand how you call this a war crime. Surely the English were outnumbered and fear for their own safety. To judge an ancient war by a modern standard seem very strange.

It was a dreadful battle that ended with a War Crime on the part of the English! It is nothing to be proud off!

I have read nearly every book he's written, Agincourt is by far one of the best. He really brings the detail to life. After reading this, you almost feel as though you were one of the archers there. Excellent work.

Bernard Cornwell is a long with Conn Iggulden my favourite author. He (BC) simply writes splendidly.
-
However Agincourt acheived little unlike poiters and crecy.
-
@FunnyMelonGirl Yes Crecy Poitiers Agincourt all stunning victories against the odds against vast armies of French who were supposed to be the elite fighting force of Christendom.

English men show France how to fight. Later they build a empire to be proud. Thailand have just big trouble to fight neighbor country. England only tiny country but they have proud war history.

@Kingofsomething87 "History is a testament to the courage and detemination of the Turkish people..." To make a good kebab...To wash more...and try to stop shagging sheep - Heh heh
Well as you havn't even answered the questions I put to you I think you are the one wasting me and Jolly's time. It's clear that you are the arrogant one and I am wasting my time with YOU. It's clear that you are very small minded and jealous of England...And that makes me glad...Very glad in fact. Sod off rag head.
