Azincourt - Cornwell, Bernard
A dramatic depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt from Bernard Cornwell. Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, is one of the best known battles, in part through the depiction of it in Shakespeare's Henry V, in part because it was a brilliant English victory and in part because it was the first battle won by the use of the longbow.
