Agincourt Tapestries
Description: English History - The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory during the Hundred Years' War, occurring on the 25th of October 1415, near Azincourt, France. Despite being outnumbered, the English forces, led by King Henry V, decisively defeated the French army. The victory is attributed to a combination of factors, including the effectiveness of the English longbowmen, the muddy terrain, and the French army's overconfidence and poor tactical deployment.
