The Battle of Agincourt is remembered as the ultimate David versus Goliath victory, where King Henry V’s small, exhausted army unleashed a devastating "hailstorm of arrows" to obliterate a French force twice their size. Dr. Eleanor Janega and Matt Lewis uncover how this legendary clash was actually a brilliantly calculated slaughter against a fractured nation, securing Henry's throne and permanently forging the myth of the English underdog.MOREQueen Isabella: She-Wolf of FranceListen on AppleListen on SpotifyAfter Agincourt: Henry V’s French CampaignsListen on AppleListen on SpotifyGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis and Dr. Eleanor Janega.
