About the book: year / The Battle of Agincourt took place on October 25, 1415 and became a turning point not only in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, but also in the history of wars. Henry V's stunning victory revived England's military glory and greatly strengthened his territorial claims in France. The exhausted English army was attacked by the numerically superior French, but the limited battlefield favored a more united English army. The undisciplined attacks of the French, combined with the exceptional skill of the English archers, contributed to a turning point in European warfare. No more than 1,600 British soldiers were killed; the French probably lost more than 6,000 men.
