Battle of Agincourt

1415 · 15th century · Also known as Agincourt · Part of the Hundred Years' War

The Battle of Agincourt was fought on 25 October 1415 in northern France, where Henry V of England's small, exhausted army, made up largely of longbowmen, defeated a much larger French force. Heavy rain and a narrow muddy field helped the English archers, and many leading French nobles, among them Duke Anthony of Brabant, were killed. The victory opened the way for Henry's conquest of Normandy.
