It is the classic underdog story in the history of warfare, and generations have wondered how the English -- outnumbered by the French six to one -- could have succeeded so bravely and brilliantly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing upon a wide range of sources, eminent scholar Juliet Barker casts aside the legend and shows us that the truth behind Agincourt is just as exciting, just as fascinating, and far more significant. She paints a gripping narrative of the October 1415 clash between outnumbered English archers and heavily armored French knights. But she also takes us beyond the battlefield into palaces and common cottages to bring into vivid focus an entire medieval world in flux. Populated with chivalrous heroes, dastardly spies, and a ferocious and bold king, \u003ci\u003eAgincourt\u003c\/i\u003e is as earthshaking as its subject -- and confirms Juliet Barker's status as both a historian and a storyteller of the first rank.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuliet Barker\u003c\/b\u003e is the distinguished biographer of Wordsworth and the Brontë sisters.
