EDITORS COMMENTS
October 25, 1415: A Turning Point in History - The Battle of Agincourt This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years War between England and France: the Battle of Agincourt. In this iconic scene, King Henry V of England (r. 1413-1422) leads his outnumbered English army to a stunning victory against the much larger French forces. The Battle of Agincourt took place on October 25, 1415, near the town of Azincourt in northern France. The English army, numbering around 6,000 men, faced an enemy force estimated at 20,000 to 30,000. Yet, against all odds, Henry V's troops emerged victorious, inflicting heavy losses on the French. The French army suffered an estimated 8,000 fatalities, while the English casualties were relatively minimal, with approximately 400 deaths. The reasons for the English victory are still debated among historians, but it is believed that the English longbowmen played a crucial role, as well as the French overconfidence and poor tactics. This print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the dramatic and decisive nature of the battle. The English king, resplendent in armor and holding a standard, rallies his troops, inspiring them to fight on. The French, disorganized and demoralized, retreat in the background. The autumnal landscape adds to the sense of history unfolding before our eyes. The Battle of Agincourt marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War, boosting English morale and weakening French power. It also cemented Henry V's reputation as a great military leader and strengthened his claim to the French throne. This powerful image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of historical scenes and the indomitable human spirit.
