Agincourt is one of the most famous battles in English history, a defining part of the national myth. This groundbreaking study by Mike Livingston, author of Never Greater Slaughter, presents a new interpretation of Henry V’s great victory.
King Henry V’s victory over the French armies at Agincourt on 25 October 1415 is unquestionably one of the most famous battles in history. From Shakespeare’s ‘band of brothers’ speech to its appearances in numerous films, Agincourt rightfully has a place among a handful of conflicts whose names are immediately recognized around the world.
The English invasion of France in 1415 saw them take the French port of Harfleur after a long siege, following which Henry was left with a sick and weakened army, which he chose to march across Normandy to the port of Calais against the wishes of his senior commanders. The French had assembled a superior force and shadowed the English Army before finally blocking its route. The battle that followed was an overwhelming victory for the English, with the French suffering horrific casualties. Agincourt opened the door for Henry V’s further conquests in France.
Agincourt provides a new look at this famous battle. Mike Livingston goes back to the original sources, including the French battle plan that still survives today, to give a new interpretation, one that challenges the traditional site of the battlefield itself. It is a thrilling new history that not only rewrites the battle as we know it, but also provides fresh insights into the men who fought and died there.

A “woke” history of Agincourt? What will internet people make up next?

Damn, ukulele. What you’re calling “woke” is what the discipline of history actually does. We collect information, we research it, we verify it, and we publish it. And no, I’m not a history author. I am, however, a historical researcher. New information about “settled” history is there to be found.
Telling people to “Stay away” from a history book that you haven’t even read is just proof of your deliberate ignorance of history. And if you’re going to keep calling what you don’t agree with “woke,” which I seriously doubt you can actually define, you’re making even more people eager to actually read it.
