Battle of Agincourt
Henry V's weary army beats a force three times its size
On 25 October 1415 French knights charged across a muddy ploughed field into the arrows of the English longbowmen. Much of the French nobility was killed, and the victory opened the way to Henry V's conquest of Normandy and the Treaty of Troyes.
