EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates one of the most iconic moments in English history: the victory at the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years War on October 25, 1415. The Hundred Years War was a series of conflicts between England and France, stemming from disputes over the French throne and territorial claims. The battle took place near the village of Agincourt in northern France, with the English army, led by King Henry V, facing a much larger French force under the Dauphin (the future Charles VII). Despite being vastly outnumbered, the English forces, consisting mainly of longbowmen and heavily armored knights, employed effective tactics and inflicted a devastating defeat on the French. The battle is famously remembered for the "Agincourt Shock," a tactical maneuver in which the English longbowmen fired volleys of arrows into the French ranks, causing chaos and confusion. The print captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with English knights charging forward in their armor, while French soldiers lie wounded or dead on the ground. The English flag flies proudly over the scene, symbolizing the triumph of the English forces. The victory at Agincourt significantly boosted English morale and strengthened their claim to the French throne, marking a turning point in the Hundred Years War. This historical print is an essential addition to any collection of English or medieval history, providing a vivid and captivating representation of one of the most pivotal moments in the annals of English history.
