Agincourt by Juliet Barker
The King, the Campaign, the Battle
A vividly reconstructed narrative of the 1415 campaign and the famous battle that follows, tracing the political and military buildup, the arduous siege of Harfleur, Henry V’s march through hostile territory, and the clash on a muddy French field where English longbowmen and tactics overcame numerically superior French knights. Drawing on contemporary chronicles and detailed scholarship, the book situates the fight within the broader Hundred Years’ War, examines the composition and experience of the armies, and separates later legend from the harsher realities and immediate consequences for England and France.
