Henry V's victory at Agincourt, against a numerically superior French army, crippled France and started a new period in the war during which Henry married the French king's daughter and then Henry's son, Henry VI, was made heir to the throne of France.

| - The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory in the Hundred Years' War.' The battle occurred on Friday, 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), near modern-day Azincourt, in northern France. Henry V's victory at Agincourt, against a numerically superior French army, crippled France and started a new period in the war during which Henry married the French king's daughter and then Henry's son, Henry VI, was made heir to the throne of France. Henry V led his troops into battle and participated in hand-to-hand fighting. The French king of the time, Charles VI, did not command the French army himself as he suffered from severe, repeating illnesses and moderate mental incapacitation. Instead, the French were commanded by Constable Charles d'Albret and various prominent French noblemen of the Armagnac party. The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which Henry used in very large numbers, with English and Welsh archers forming most of his army. The battle is also the centrepiece of the play Henry V, by William Shakespeare.

It is thought that 1415 (or was it 14.15 - quarter past two ?) is especially significant as this is shortly after lunch when the French, being one of the siesta-taking, layabout, garlic-nations would have been drowsy and disinclined to fight. The French king of the time was Charles VI De Gaulle ; however, he did not command the French army due to batshit insanity and his belief he was made out of brittle champagne glass. Instead the French were commanded by the Constable of France, Charles Aznavour , the Inspector of France , Jacques Cousteau and Coco Chanel who was known as the Tart of France and would go into war wearing just a little black battle dress and armed with a bottle of her pungent perfume. Bringing up the rear (also known as the Vice Anglais position) were various prominent French noblemen of the bring-a-bottle party.
