Heute vor 610 Jahren fand die berühmte Schlacht von Agincourt statt, in der König Heinrich V. seine militärische Kompetenz unter Beweis stellte, indem er eine viel größere französische Streitmacht unter der Führung von Charles d’Albret besiegte.
Looks like the separation of high-ranking captives and the slaughter of the remaining French prisoners is depicted near the end.

Idk if this is accurate, but it is damn cool.
Also, Jesus Christ. The end!

looks almost similar to the battle at Cannae, just that at Cannae very few escaped.

I haven’t read much on Agincourt, but is there a reason why d’Albret chose not to send the third or even second line against the English flanks? Were the flanks hidden in the forest?

Its only fitting that tonight Tom Aspinall will fight Ciryl Gane at UFC 321

So many ancient, medieval battles seen to involve the same tactic of middle push back and sides collapse into them enemy as they chase.

What’s the quote about how the English celebrate Agincourt as if they won the war.

I’m always curious how we get this level of detailed data from that long ago

It wasn’t really King Henry V who proved his competence (although he was certainly very capable)
It was rather the french who proved their lack of adaptability and lack of learning
They relied too much on heavy cavalry and their notion of Chivalry was beyond logic and even surviving instinct
They did the same thing in Poitiers in 1356 where 2 field marshal disagree so much that the french vangard basicaly did a suicide assault
The Zulus had a similar form of warfare with the horns of the bull on either side eventually surrounding the opponent.

The English did not win. The French lost.

EHM no Charles d’albret is just a massive dumbass, he has more forces, does not flank. Lets his first group be surrounded right away… and then sends more troops into the same area instead of flanking, again?
Their troops blob together to fully encircle his remaining troops there and he… Does not send his remaining troops to hit them in the back?
