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this landmark study of Agincourt, prize-winning author Juliet Barker draws upon a huge range of sources, published and unpublished, English and French, to give a compelling account of a battle upon which so many legends have been built.

A mad king, murderous dukes, scheming bishops, knightly heroes, surgeons, heralds, spies and pirates - the story of Agincourt has them all. Illustrated. 460 pp.
