- Synopsis:
On October 25th 1415, as the pale dawn of an early autumn day broke over Agincourt, a mighty French army numbering 30,000 men surveyed the small English force who stood before them ready to battle. The French expected a swift and comprehensive victory, but as a day of great savagery unfolded, it was the English led by their charismatic King, Henry V, who would utterly destroy their enemy. This video features a superb and accurate reconstruction of the great battle, plus dramatised "eye-witness" accounts taken from contemporary records. State-of-the-art mapping techniques, period imagery and expert comment and analysis from Dr. David Chandler provide an informative and entertaining account of this savage battle. - Actors:
