'''The Battle of Agincourt''' was a decisive battle in the [[Hundred Years War]]. An estimated 30,000 [[France|French]] troops were under the command of Constable Charles D’Albret and 6,000 [[England|English]] troops, under the command of King [[Henry V]], participated in this battle. However, a modern re-assessment of the number of  troops present at the battle suggests they may have numbered as many as 9,000 on the English side and as few as 12,000 on the French side, although these numbers are not consistent with eyewitness accounts.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/world/europe/25agincourt.html</ref>

The Battle of Agincourt resulted in an upset victory for the English that can be credited in large part to the power of the English [[longbow]].  The battle was also the historical setting for much of Act IV in [[William Shakespeare]]'s play Henry the V - especially the famous "[[St. Crispin's Day]]" speech.
