About Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell
Set during Henry V’s 1415 campaign in France, Bernard Cornwell’s historical novel follows Nicholas Hook, an English archer whose troubled past leads him into mercenary service. After surviving the massacre at Soissons, Hook returns to England and is called into the king’s army for its campaign to claim the French crown.
The story moves from the setbacks at Harfleur to the battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, where English forces faced a far larger French army. Readers interested in medieval warfare, the reign of Henry V, and historical fiction centered on soldiers and campaigns will find this a vivid account of the events surrounding the battle.
