I did a little Goggling and found numerous "myths" about Agincourt. For example: "Five Myths about the Battle of Agincourt" The problem seems to be that in 1599 Shakespeare wrote his own version of what happened in his play Henry V. Sir Laurence Olivier made additional changes in the 1944 movie. There was also quite a bit of reverse engineering in the historical accounts as to why various things happened. To keep things simple, I guess the author of the video provided a provocative title and probably created some additional controversy to attract additional attention. >file:///home/anon/Downloads/Chapman.pdf Ummm... that PDF is located on your computer where I can't read it. >AS I understand it various "Lords" were contracted by the King to >supply various numbers of men for some for of for see >https://www.medievalsoldier.org/about/agincourt-600/the-english-army-in-1415/english-army-table/\ >for examples. >https://www.reddit.com/r/ArmsandArmor/comments/1c70g4a/who_are_these_archers_in_full_plate_depicted_at/ Yep. I call to your attention the interlocking alliances that were responsible for WWI growing into an uncontrollable mess. Well, the interlocking alliances were present during the middle ages with the added bonus of the Feudal System creating contractual obligations between literally everyone that lived at the time. Keeping all that organized and accurate must have been difficult. >>Mike Loades has also written several books on middle ages bows and >>archery: >> >> -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
