> 1415: Battle of Agincourt
> 
> In 1415, as part of the Hundred Year's War, an English army under King
> Henry V invaded France.  The climax of the invasion came at Agincourt
> on October 25, when an English force of about 5,700 men, consisting
> mostly of archers, encountered a French army of 25,000, including a
> large number of knights on horseback.  Due to muddy conditions on the
> battlefield and the long-range accuracy of the English longbow, the
> French were defeated, with a loss of around 8,000 men.
