Publisher's Synopsis
It is more than 600 years since Henry V led England to victory at the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415, defeating a French army significantly bigger than his own. But despite deservedly being one of the most famous battles of the Middle Ages, Agincourt is not necessarily one of the most significant of the era.
A classic, in-depth study of over twenty of the most important battles to have taken place on British soil. Throughout its long history, Britain has been subjected to foreign invasion, bloody rebellions, and tumultuous civil wars leading to thousands of deaths across its length and breadth.
