The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory in the Hundred Years' War.

It was fought on October 25, 1415, between the English army of King Henry V and a much larger French army.

The small English army was weakened by disease and was attempting to retreat to the port of Calais.

The French army blocked their path on a narrow, muddy field between two forests.

This terrain was a major disadvantage for the French, as it limited the effectiveness of their large numbers of heavy cavalry.

The key to the English victory was the longbow, a powerful weapon that could penetrate armor at a distance.

The English longbowmen unleashed a devastating storm of arrows on the advancing French knights.

The heavily armored French knights became bogged down in the mud, making them easy targets for the more lightly equipped English infantry.

The battle was a catastrophic defeat for the French, with thousands of their nobility killed or captured.

Agincourt is remembered as a legendary victory against overwhelming odds and a high point of English military history.
