Azincourt

An extraordinary and dramatic depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt from the number one historical novelist. On October 25th 1415, St Crispin's Day, the English army, led by King Henry V, faced off against the French in one of England's most famous battles. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the English emerged victorious, thanks in part to the use of the longbow, a weapon developed by the English which enabled them to dominate the European battlefields for the rest of the century. Azincourt is immortalised in Shakespeare's Henry V, and remains one of the most celebrated victories in English history.

Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt is an unforgettable and meticulously researched account of the momentous Battle of Agincourt and its aftermath. Through the eyes of nobles, peasants, archers, and horsemen, Azincourt vividly captures the hours of relentless fighting, the desperation of an army crippled by disease, and the extraordinary courage of the English soldiers. An epic tale of courage and survival, Azincourt is a must-read for history buffs and anyone interested in the Middle Ages.
