Historical fiction based on the battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, and one of England’s best-known battles, in part because it was the first battle won with the use of the longbow, a weapon developed by the English. A well-researched account of this momentous battle and its aftermath. From the varying viewpoints of nobles, peasants, archers, and horsemen, the author skilfully brings to life the hours of relentless fighting, the desperation of an army crippled by disease and the exceptional bravery of the English soldiers.
