For many commentators then and now, it was the English archers who won the day for Henry V. This history re-tells the story of the battle and Henry V's Normandy campaign from the perspective of the reputed commander of the English archers, Sir Thomas Erpingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir Thomas, an experienced warrior from Norfolk with military experience dating back 40 years, is known for his brief but pivotal appearances in Shakespeare's Henry V, where he is correctly portrayed as an elderly, white-haired veteran. At 57 he was one of the oldest there and a close personal confidant of the King. But what was his background? How did he command his archers to such a place in history? And what role did the longbow and battlefield tactics play in the final analysis of victory?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopiously illustrated with reproductions of original muster rolls and other material, \u003ci\u003eAgincourt 1415\u003c\/i\u003e steers the reader through the history of the most important battle of the Hundred Years War from an entirely fresh perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Curry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752445669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752445663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tempus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Anne Curry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443653357823,"sku":"9780752445663","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fda366bc-35d6-4447-801b-e45f7ab3d123.jpg?v=1777206906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agincourt-1415-anne-curry-9780752445663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
