On October 25th 1415, as the pale dawn of an early autumn day broke over Agincourt, a mighty French army numbering 30,000 men surveyed the small English force who stood before them ready to battle. The French expected a swift and comprehensive victory, but as a day of great savagery unfolded it was the English led by their charismatic King, Henry V, who would utterly destroy their enemy.

This DVD features a superb and accurate reconstruction of the great battle plus dramatised "eye-witness" accounts taken from contemporary records. State of the art mapping techniques, period imagery and expert comment and analysis from Dr David Chandler provide an informative and entertaining account of this savage battle.
