The battle of Agincourt the battle of Agincourt is possibly the biggest battle against french and English. The English numbered about 9,000 the french well into the 10,000's the french where split into two parties the Burgundian and the Orleans. They fought the English. Almost every English fighter was a archer with heavy axes lying by them ready for hand to hand combat the mounted knights stayed behind the archers. There was sort of a bottle neck one side thick forest the other side was marshy. The 9,000 English had their archers in the front the french charged and hails of arrows darkened the sky. As they shot into the french with great bravery and valor persisted forward. Till the archers stopped and hefted up there heavy axes and attacked the french numbers where on there side and the king Henry surrounded by twenty knights fought on. The french seeing that great amounts of men where shot down and that they weren't gaining ground retreated and the English outnumbered probably close to 2 to 1 won.
