Henry V became King of England in 1413. He was one of the great warrior kings of the country, cast in the same mould as Edward I and Edward III. He was just, pious, athletic, chivalrous, acquisitive, ruthless and eager to gain honour on the field of battle. Henry hoped that a successful campaign against the nation's traditional enemy would draw the people together and establish the popularity of the Lancastrian dynasty. This splendid addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series explores the background, organisation and equipment of the armies which fought in one of the most famous conflicts in England's history – the Battle of Agincourt.

Excellent Research & Illustrations,
By Dean M. Motoyama (Puyallup, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Armies of Agincourt (Men-at-Arms Series 113) (Paperback)
This is a great little book on the subject. You'll get great research and a basic overview of what the armies, tactics/strategy, arms/armor, and opposing philosophies were. Rothero brings the warriors to life. The illustrations alone are worth the price and then some. Highly recommended; even if you're remotely interested in the subject, you'll likely be very satisfied with this book.

This review is from: The Armies of Agincourt (Men-at-Arms Series 113) (Paperback)
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Middle Age period, the grim realities of war at that time, etc... This book is also perfect if you're looking for realistic documentation, for example before a role playing game or a play.
