The Battle of Agincourt took place on 25 October 1415 at Azincourt, France and was a decisive and surprising English victory during the Hundred Years' War.
Battle[]
Despite being vastly outnumbered, the English army inflicted severe losses against the French by way of their Welsh longbow archers raining scores of arrows on the knights weighed down by heavy armor in the mud-soaked battlefield. The resulting tallies of French nobles captured or rendered casualties were so high that it drastically demoralized their nation for the next decade.[1]
Aftermath and legacy[]
600 years after the French defeat, in October 2016, the Templars' Inner Sanctum member and Master Templar Simon Hathaway briefly mentioned the fight to Victoria Bibeau while they searched for an important battle that Jeanne d'Arc had participated in.[2]
