Timely! Our next book club discussion is indeed about Agincourt!

We will meet Nov 7 at 10 am at The Columns Hotel to discuss Dr. Michael Livingston’s book “Agincourt: Battle of the Scarred King.”

Details here: joanofarcparade.org/joan-of-arc-book-club/#OnThisDay in 1415, King Henry V led his tired, outnumbered troops to an unlikely victory at the Battle of Agincourt.

Facing a much larger French force, Henry’s army, nearly 80% archers, turned the muddy fields to their advantage, with English longbows cutting down French knights in waves.

Against all odds, Agincourt became one of England’s most celebrated victories, boosting morale back home and solidifying Henry’s reputation as a warrior king.

#DidYouKnow? Legend has it that after the Battle of Agincourt, English archers taunted the French with a two-finger salute. The French had threatened to cut off these fingers if they captured any English bowmen, so in classic English style, the archers waved them proudly, as if to say, “Still got ‘em!” Though it started as a show of defiance, that two-finger gesture is now considered quite rude… so use with caution!
