Description
Henry V became King of England in 1413. He was one of the great warrior kings of the country, cast in the same mould as Edward I and Edward III. He was just, pious, athletic, chivalrous, acquisitive, ruthless and eager to gain honour on the field of battle. Henry hoped that a successful campaign against the nation's traditional enemy would draw the people together and establish the popularity of the Lancastrian dynasty. This splendid addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series explores thebackground, organisation and equipment of the armies which fought in one of the most famous conflicts in England's history - the Battle of Agincourt.

An Osprey handbook of the Agincourt forces, with the usual brasses and some good quality line drawings, as well as the usual eight plates. Sadly Rothero does not employ the exploded diagrams of armour that one finds in later handbooks on this theme.
