Agincourt is one of the epic battles of history.It was fought by two badly matched
armies that met in atrocious conditions on St Crispin's Day 1415,and resulted in an extraordinary victory that was celebrated in England long before Shakespeare immortalised it in Henry V.It has always been held to be he triumph of the longbow against the armoured knight,and of the common man against the feudal aristocrat, but those are history's myths.
Bernard Cornwell,who has long wanted to write this story,depicts the reality behind the myths.
'Azincourt' culminates in the battle.Seen
from several points of view on the English
side,but also from the French ranks,the scene is vivid,convincing and compelling.
Bernard Cornwell has a great understanding of men at war and battlefields and this is his masterpiece.
This is what it must have been like to fight at Agincourt.
