Historical Note

‘Agincourt is one of the most instantly and vividly visualized of all epic passages in English history … It is a victory of the weak over the strong, of the common soldier over the mounted knight, of resolution over bombast … It is also a story of slaughter-yard behaviour and of outright atrocity.’

Sir John Keegan, The Face of Battle

‘… there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses: they stumble upon their corpses.’

Nahum 3.3
