‘Banners advance!’ KING HENRY AT AGINCOURT. On October 25th 1415, as the pale dawn of an early autumn day broke over Agincourt, a mighty French army numbering 30,000 men surveyed the small English force who stood before them ready to battle. The French expected a swift and comprehensive victory, but as a day of great savagery unfolded, it was the English led by their charismatic King, Henry V, who would utterly destroy their enemy. This DVD features a superb and accurate reconstruction of the great battle, plus dramatised ‘eye-witness’ accounts taken from contemporary records. State-of-the-art mapping techniques, period imagery and expert comment and analysis from Dr David Chandler provide an informative and entertaining account of this savage battle. Narrated by Brian Blessed
