146 The Agincourt Campaign - Part III: The Battle

And so at last to one of England's most famous battles. Outnumbered and trapped, Henry and his English and Welsh faced the cream of the French warrior class. 

 The Duke of Alencon attacks the fallen Gloucester and his brother King Henry!! Note the absence of mud and blood - I think they'd have looked a little messier...

After a cursory glance I must say these maps look fantastic! Good job.

Gosh, mystery listener called Andy, you are clearly so right to mention the maps, and so intelligent to notice how good they are! Tell the world mystery listener, tell the world...

[Peter Ingram]

Fabulous job. Explains things so clearly!

[Jeff Ranalletta]

They are very good. Very interesting.

Terrific episode. Coincidentally, I'm currently reading Bernard Cornwell's book "Agincourt." Cornwell does a nice job of conveying how miserable the conditions were at the battle. But you did it more succinctly.

Excellent, thanks all. Bernard Cornwell is of course a genius, love most of his books.
