Agincourt

About this book

In this landmark study of Agincourt prize-winning author Juliet Barker draws upon a huge range of sources published and unpublished English and French to give a compelling account of a battle upon which so many legends have been built. But she also looks behind the action on the field to paint a portrait of the age. A mad king murderous dukes scheming bishops knightly heroes surgeons heralds spies and pirates- the story of Agincourt has them all.
