The Battle of Agincourt was the final battle in the 1415 invasion of France by Henry V. He was fighting to claim the throne of France from King Charles the Mad and also to avenge the men that died in the Siege of Soissons.
The invasion began with the lengthy siege of Harfluer in which much of Henry's army fell sick with dystentry and died. The 12,000 strong army was halved in size and Henry decided to march this small force of just over 6000 men from Harfluer to Calais but after being unable to cross the Somme they had to travel in land and they were caught by a French army (numbers range between 15,000-30,000) near the castle of Agincourt.
The battle was fought on St Crispin's day in atrocious conditions. The English eventually won when their archers defeated the numerous French attacks
For more information in a fictional sense I can recommend Bernard Cornwell's 'Agincourt' but bear in mind that this is a work of fiction based on true events.
