what languages did the English and French speak in 1415? I can't imagine they spoke English or French as we know and understand them today!!

King this, king that ... I can only feel sad for all the people who died due to the greed of their feudal overlords, and the countless wars that resulted from it

A vast bunch of well-fed poofs cornered a bunch of cold starving men with dysentery. Always beware pissing-off grumpy Brits.

Epic! And people say we English have no identity. Blah is all i can say. Our history spans thousands of years of war and survival and colonising and invention. We were after maybe Africa, the most influential and important country to the development of the modern world. ( africa because thats where first humanoids evolved )

They weren't French peasants that died in Agincourt, but the finest of the French nobles

Kelt4ever

He was of Norman descent, not French.

Kelt4ever

Some do not know about the French attack on the English baggage camp and the massacre that ensued - It influenced his decision to execute the French prisoners.

Hodor Hodori

It was the French who engaged the English in the first place.
