Hundred Years War between England and France. The battle took place in the year 1415, with English forces claiming victory.
"The Battle of Agincourt (pronounced a zhin cor, or /ˈeʤənˌkɔrt/) was fought on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War.
The armies involved were those of the English King Henry V and Charles VI of France. Charles did not command his army himself, as he was incapacitated. The French were commanded by the Constable Charles d'Albret and various prominent French noblemen of the Armagnac party. The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which the English used in very large numbers, with longbowmen forming the vast majority of their army. The battle was also immortalised by William Shakespeare as the centrepiece of his play Henry V."

How big was the English army at Agincourt - I hear some people are now trying to say it was almost as big as the French and that the French army was only 12,000 men....
