Agincourt is so my favorite battle ever. Huzzah for archers! May they turn the tides of battle forever!
There is one historian who seems determined to paint Agincourt as less of an underdog victory as it once was, claiming the Brits had the French outnumbered, etc. It's one of those few times I fight the quest for the "truth" more of a personal crusade and less of an actually noble endeavor.
