@@andrewholdaway813 No, I'm not happy at all with such condescension and inaccuracy. There were far more than a "few" Welsh at Agincourt, even in terms of the raw numbers. In comparative terms, the Welsh bowmen were rather numerous, given the relative population sizes of Wales and England. The fairest and most accurate thing to say is that they were _British_ archers, because - as a collective - they were categorically NOT all English.

I know what you're saying & I do agree but if they find the grave pits & they find armour buried with the men it's possible they could find a coat of arms. Who knows maybe put names to the nobles whose banner the men fought under, that could open up some new avenues of inquiry?

@civilengineer3349 2 месяца назад

Bows shot straight at the foe, not at the sky. Most Frenchmen wore helmets and held shields, so the arrows didn't make a big difference at battle, but they did hurt the Frenchmen who did not hold shields, and those whose shields were either small or thin.

@rexbarron4873 2 месяца назад

Actually they shot at the feet and lower legs according to Charles VII in a recently discovered letter written after Formingy. Funny you don't hear much about that bunfight.

I get really sick of this modern interpretation that the armies were evenly matched and that, essentially, the English were lucky! No! The French still massively outnumbered the English, and, on their own soil, they were outwitted, out flanked and utterly beaten by a stronger, mightier for of less men! English historians need to step up and stop being so Leftish about their history. England were a force to be reckoned with. They were a tiny island capable of immense power, throughout written history. It is simply wrong to diminish and dumb that down on the precepts of political correctness. History has happened. Atrocity happens. War is evil, yet The English are simply not the villains they’re portrayed to be in the grand scheme of things and people would do well to study history the world over before making assumptions based on modern interpretation. It’s very easy for the magician to point the finger to the audience, while simultaneously hiding the truth from those absorbed in the show.

Henry kew he had to defeat the French in detail (bit by bit) due to their numerical and logistical superiority. He lured them into a killing-ground and killed them.

@ricardojaye305 Месяц назад

The whole campaign that lead up to Agincourt was in fact a failed mission for the English. Henry never got to claim the French crown. On top of that England ultimately lost the hundred years war anyway. Sounds like you just want to believe your own version of events. Reality is nobody actually knows the definitive details of numbers on either side, or how the battle really played out.

Ann Curry has used historical records with sound methodology to form an estimate of the size of the French army, unlike less informed "estimates" from earlier historians. Historians publish their research which is peer reviewed by other historians and their professional pride is very much at stake. I'd love an explanation of how her methodology is leftist. What I don't need an explanation of is how certain fragile individuals seem to live vicariously through other people's exploits and also seem to bizarrely gain a sense of pride from having been born in a nearby place to these people. Not only that, but they take any denigration of those exploits personally and whine about Wokeness or snowflakes. It utterly mystifies me, but, I suppose if I was an individual who was physically intimidated by other men then I may need to take solace in the fantasy that I'm a descendent of a warrior race.

@ianstroud7365 Месяц назад

So now we are suggesting medieval french and English recorders can count. Most English troops rarely got paid and would have foraged for food, so financial records will give little clue, also they were decimated by diseases. The french army would have grown as it marched as it always did ,Yet here is some one centuries later trying to re write it,

@@mickmacgonigle5021 yes, ultimately the English lost the war which had started because of the English ruling dynasty's claims to large territories in France. That dynasty was , in fact , French : the Plantagenets and many of its members such as Richard the Lionheart and Henry II were buried in France in their family dominions. French only declined as the language of the Royal Court and aristocracy as well as of the legal system in England in the 15th century, largely due to the loss of territories in France.

@rexbarron4873 2 месяца назад

Aah... not the myth of the arrow storm again ,c'mon guys stop copying. A letter written after the battle of Formingy by Charlie 7 discovered in 1968 tells us the English like to shoot at the feet.....well where else do you aim at 25 yards....a shield??? The longbow was not an offensive weapon, it was like the WW1 watercooled machinegun a defensive weapon and Henry relied on being attacked. The French obliged. If you need to know the answer to arrow v armour examine the battle of Patay 1429. 1500 mounted French knghts and Gen d'armes charged 5000 English bowmen who were caught in the open totaly destroying the capability of the corps of bowmen for any future engagement. The Butchers bill was 150 French dead and 2500 English dead, this in spite of 40,000 longbow arrows fired at short range. The Longbow has it's limitations against plate and shield. In the final battle at Castillon where we were sent back to the channel ports to collect our duty free the longbow was hardly used.

@michaelmazowiecki9195 2 месяца назад

The French nobility that took part was mostly from northern France. The bulk of the country was not involved. In terms of numbers the battle of Grunwald in 1410 in northern Poland was far larger. The myth of Agincourt is largely an English obsession.

"Myth?"

@michaelmazowiecki9195 Месяц назад

@@victornewman9904 detailed reports written soon after the actual battle have not survived. Typically, after any battle in christian Europe mass burial pits would be dug to limit the spread of disease. Cremation was rarely used. No burial pits have been found at Agincourt despite detailed searches. By the 19th century battle casualty skeletons would be dug up after a couple of years and crushed into bone meal for use as a fertiliser. This is what happened at Waterloo where British and other skeletal remains ended up being crushed and exported to Britain for sale as fertiliser....Shakespeare used poetic license in his tale Henry V. French casualties, though large, did not prevent France besieging Calais or recruiting new armies which were used to reconquer lost territories. In essence, Agincourt was the English high point of the 100 years war. From then on the French prevailed to ultimate victory by 1453.

@victornewman9904 Месяц назад

@michaelmazowiecki9195 The linguistic term "myth" in this context suggests that the battle did not occur. Bearing in mind that those killed in the failed assault wore expensive, decorative armour and were of noble birth and accompanied by their many servants, and were in the first wave of 10,000 encountered it is likely that signicant numbers were recovered and as per usual practice, buried in their estates' local churches. The armour would have been recycled.

@michaelmazowiecki9195 Месяц назад

@@victornewman9904 the myth is about its importance and size of opposing armies and political events. Certainly, it has a role in English national definition and historical myth creation as the continual shrinkage of Plantagenet territories in France was only temporarily slowed and English aristocracy lost its French land holdings. However, in France it had a far less significant effect other than in northern areas. It only took another 40 years for England to entirely lose its French holdings other than the port city of Calais.

Indeed a UK historian Siobhan Talbott after considerable research came to the conclusion that the 1295 treaty known as the Auld Alliance had never been formally revoked plus there was a celebration in 1995 to mark the 700th anniversary.
