On This Day In History . 25 October 1415 . Henry V gained his greatest victory at the Battle of Agincourt . The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory in the Hundred Years’ War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin’s Day) in the County of Saint-Pol, Artois, some 40 km south of Calais (now Azincourt in northern France). . ◼ England’s unexpected victory at Agincourt against a numerically superior French army boosted English morale & prestige, crippled France, & started a new period in the war during which the English began enjoying great military successes. . 👑 King Henry V of England led his troops into battle & participated in hand-to-hand fighting. . ◼ The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow in very large numbers, with the English & Welsh archers making up nearly 80 percent of Henry’s army. The devastation of the French cavalry at their hands signaled the decline of cavalry & the increasing dominance of ranged weapons on the battlefield. . ◼ Agincourt is one of England’s most celebrated victories & was one of the most important English triumphs in the Hundred Years’ War, along with the Battle of Crécy (1346) & Battle of Poitiers (1356). It forms the centrepiece of the play Henry V by William Shakespeare. . 📖 Read my full story of the Battle with biography of Henry V, where you can also watch clips of Shakespeare’s play, by Sir Laurence Olivier in 1944 & Kenneth Branagh in the 1989 version. . . . #onthisdayinhistory #thisdayinhistory #theyear1415 #d25oct #BattleofAgincourt #HundredYearsWar #History #Historic #HenryV #HenryVofEngland #KingHenryV #England #France #SaintCrispinsDay #EnglishHistory #EnglishMonarchy #instahistory #historyfacts #Thebritishmonarchy #Britishmonarchy #HouseofLancaster #HouseofPlantagenet #otd (at Azincourt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxuvHzDNXs/?igshid=boli0pz7tlr8

Poured one out for the fallen tonight on Saint Crispin's Day. Here's to LT Rhiannon Ross, US Navy and ENS Morgan Garrett, US Coast Guard who perished in a training accident Friday and for the family of BM1 Ramsey, who perished in a fire Friday morning. ..... If we are mark'd to die, we are enough To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour...O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars and say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember'd; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. - William Shakespeare .... #saintcrispinsday #forthefallen #tillvalhalla #usnavy #uscg #USCoastGuard #flyuscg #fairwindsandfollowingseas #fairskiesandtailwinds (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGyh5G1sDwN/?igshid=1q3j7b6ww6g4g
