The Agincourt War
by Lt-Col Alfred H. Burne
This companion volume to the Crecy War (also published by Wordsworth
Editions) is a military history of the latter part of the Hundred Years'
War form 1369 to 1453. It opens, following the death of the Black Prince,
with a series of reverses which contrast starkly with the earlier
victorious campaigns. The English cause languished until the spectacular
rise of Henry V and his crushing defeat of the French and victory at
Agincourt. Names familiar from Shakespeare's histories resound through
these pages - Chandos, Bedford, Salisbury, Talbot, du Guesclin and Joan of
Arc.
While the highlight of the book is the Battle of Agincourt, there
are a number of battles of almost equal military interest; indeed the
Battle of Verneuil has been described by a French writer as 'un seconde
Azincourt'.
