: : There were a number of King Henrys. I think you mean Henry V, the victor at Agincourt. : : Caleb, Henry V is my favorite Shakespeare play, and once you see it, yours. I suggest you check out one or more of the VCR versions available at your local library, and read along as you watch with a paperback of Shakespeare's play (some parts will be left out, and the emphases will be a little different - for instance, Oliver's play doesn't deal at all with Henry's order to kill prisoners)> : : Henry represents a chivalric medieval king, motivated by honor, duty and country. His military victory of Avincourt, where he was outnumbered 3-to-1, and his troops were tired, hungry and sick with diarrhea, is legendary fact. : : An excellent explanation of the battle (and easy to read) can be found in John Keegan's "The Face of Battle" (paperback), pp. 78-116. : : The role of archers is important - explore that - they triumphed over armored cavalry and armored ground troops, but were considered the "lowest" form of warfare at the time. : : The reasons for the battle are more interesting than the legend admits: look into the interes : ts of the Church at the time. : : Have fun! : Hello, : There's a search engine and local shopping website www.whatdoyouneednow.com.
