Battle of Agincourt
About Battle of Agincourt
The Battle of Agincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 near Azincourt, in northern France. The unexpected victory of the vastly outnumbered English troops against the French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France, and started a new period of English dominance in the war. That advantage lasted for 14 years, until England was defeated by France in 1429 during the Siege of Orléans.

Was the one for the Anglo-Egyptian War of 18, whatever it was? There wasn't, but there was a Battle of Agincourt Carol. No way. Yes, there was a Carol that was written after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Oh, so not for it. No one was running out at front with their guitar. No, sadly, I think they waited until the result was in before they commemorated it in song, because otherwise that's cocky.
