in reply to mh605: What the hell has it got to do with the US Supreme Court?? Were they trying to prove that it was the Americans who really won the Battle of Agincourt??? Just like all those other wars they won. I don't think.

You might be interested to know that in 2010, some lawyers and members of the U.S. Supreme Court participated in a moot court to determine whether Henry V really had a right to the French throne, and thus a right to invade France. CNN televised it. It's really interesting (but read the first act of Shakespeare's play first). You can find it at c-spanvideo. org program id 221111 (insert backslashes between org, program, id, and 221111 and delete spaces before using the address).

Interestingly enough, in Shakespeare's play there's a scene where battle is offered to Henry but he says he'd just as soon pass and go to Calais, because his army is so sick. Even though it's a fiction, the play is interesting because it does contain some historical facts.

mh605

Yes, I did read that they cut out the backs of their trousers or hose. (It is possible that their tunics covered that, but still...) How they could fight a battle when so sick, I don't know. The whole campaign was horrible for the English army, and even for the officers--not to mention for the French themselves. And all for a cause that the common people probably didn't care about at all. How ironic that Henry himself died of dysentery in 1422 at age 35, on yet another campaign in France.

Did you know that the English had been suffering terribly from dysentery before the battle? Many of the soldiers had cut out the backside of their hose because it was so bad - so their naked bottoms were visible.

The story was not passed down through the family, but me and my nephew managed to piece together the family history. When we got started we met two other sets of relatives who had already done quite a bit of research into the family. The fact that they were Constables of their village helped. If they hadn't held this position or hadn't been able to read and write themselves, we would probably never have got back to 1300.

I have recently been looking into the battle of Agincourt because of a great new production of Shakespeare's Henry V which has captured my attention and imagination. Of course, that's a play, fiction, yet it made me go look up the facts about the major characters and about the battle itself. If you type in "Battle of Agincourt" into the YouTube search box, you may find a great 30-minute documentary (from a series called War Walks) about Henry's campaign through France in the fall of 1415.

Wow, how lucky for them! And how amazing that you have their history and know their story almost 600 years later. You had one amazing family, to preserve a story that old throughout all those generations. Do you also have mementos (letters, etc.) from these people?

3 brothers and one of their sons. They were archers. And they survived the dysentery, the foreign food, the channel crossing and the fighting to return to Suffolk and live out their years on their farms.

mh605

Wow, that's amazing. How cool.

Look at Wikipedia for Agincourt Carol. It's a famous piece of music, so there's a whole article about it, including lyrics.

I agree with Richard. Have the LP from years ago. Sang some of these tunes in an early music ensemble in Princeton NJ. David Munrow on the shawm was fabulous as well.

Here is a good example of how God's providential hand has been recognized in history.

Used to 'follow' YT & U can take my word for it ...they were truly AWESOME. Their ATTACK, their complex harmonies was something to behold. Peter was just amazing in his sincerity for the old stuff. Upsetting that PB took his own life coz. he was SO depressed at Brits. preferring repetitive 12bar Rolling Stones 'pseudo' Delta Blues nonsense to their[Brits!] OWN 'folk' heritage. PB did a mean bottleneck to 'Stones In My Passway' [RJ] & LIKED AMERICANA but adored OUR traditional stuff. YT RULED!!
