Royal Banner of France (Battle of Agincourt)

"The Royal Banner of France"

The Battle of Agincourt French deployment: The French army had 10,000 men-at arms plus some 4,000–5,000 miscellaneous footmen (gens de trait) including archers, crossbowmen and shield-bearers, totalling 14,000–15,000 men. Probably each man-at-arms would be accompanied by a gros valet (or varlet), an armed servant, adding up to another 10,000 potential fighting men though some historians omit them from the number of combatants. (©Wikipedia)

The battle resulted in the decisive victory of the English over the French in the Hundred Years’ War. In pursuit of his claim to the French throne, Henry V invaded Normandy with an army of 11,000 men in August 1415. The English took Harfleur in September, but with their forces cut in half by battle and disease, they resolved to return to England. At Agincourt they were cornered by a French army of 20,000–30,000 men, including many mounted knights in heavy armour. On a cramped battlefield where the superior French numbers offered little advantage, Henry made skilful use of his lightly equipped, mobile archers. The French were disastrously defeated, losing over 6,000 men, while the English lost fewer than 450.
