Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "On 25th October 1415, on a French hillside near the village of Agincourt in northern France, four men sheltered from the rain and prepared for battle. All four were English knights, ancestors of Ranulph Fiennes, and part of the army of England's King Henry V. Across the valley, four sons of the French arm of the Fiennes family were confident that the Dauphin's army would win the day. Henry V was victorious at Agincourt against a numerically superior French army. 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 his French forces himself as he suffered from a severe psychotic illness. The author presents a fresh perspective on one of the bloodiest periods of medieval history. With fascinating detail on the battle plans, weaponry and human drama of Agincourt, this is a gripping evocation of a historical event integral to English identity. Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, commonly known as Ranulph Fiennes, is an English explorer and author. He served with the British SAS and the army of the Sultan of Oman. He has undertaken explorations of both the Arctic and Antarctic regions and is the oldest Briton to reach the summit of Mount Everest"--Provided by publisher.
