This is late...I'm sorry:


Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.

Agincourt- 590th Anniversary



Steve

I've always had a soft spot for Agincourt. My first Ladybird book when I was a kid (a long, long time ago when it wasn't too wimpy to read Ladybird books) was on King Henry and Agincourt. Then there was the time I got forced into seeing the Shakespearan play as part of Literature in Grade 13 which actually turned out quite well, not Grade 13 but the play of course. the speech Harry gave on the eve of battle was truly inspiring. It was at Stratford, Ontario if I'm not mistaken.

The latest being on Discovery on a battlefield analysis of how such a small force of lightly armored English troops took out heavily armed, mounted French knights. Thanks for bringing back some warm memories Steven. And of course, to Harry and his band of brothers,
