Secrets of Agincourt - Medieval Dead - S02 EP02 - History Documentary

Looking forward to watching this but wanted to say another massive thank you for sharing these documentaries that show information that should be taught in ALL British schools to remember the nations history, culture & heritage 🇬🇧

Thank you really enjoyed this Dont get why there is so many Haters in the Comments 🥰

Of course Henry V was an aggressor. He was trying to regain his territory in France and ensure it remained unthreatened by the French King. His campaign ensured England emerged as a dominant military power and safe from invasion. I’m also interested in how professor Curry doesn’t think that a direct descendant of William the Conqueror wasn’t entitled to Normandy. And of course survivors of the battle would have considered themselves a “band of brothers”. Anyone who has served their nation, king or feudal lord would have known that they had done their duty. The crusades to the Holy Land relied heavily on the bragging rights of having been there as part of their recruitment campaign.

This is so cool. My father's family is from St Albin's. I believe some are still there. Thank you for this bit of family history.

Superb devotion and determination to his subject which in my humble view I share/d too in my younger days back in 1960s when, working in Brussels, I came down this way and also to the site of the Field of a Cloth of Gold of Henry VIII’s time…

Would love to see lidar of this field and castle.

Just fascinating,thanks for the work..

First sight of professor Curry told me the path she would try to go down . All over the world , men who have fought or worked together have reunions . It is a kind of brotherhood .

Superb relaying of history, Thank you.

Have they used drones to look at the fields at various times of year to see what the ground marks would show?

'It was an invasion by an aggressor' so was 1066, stop with the hand wringing

When was this documentary put together? [edit] released in 2015.

So dig!

I suggest Tim contacts Michael Livingston who wrote the new benchmark book on the subject

I love the ending of the 100 years war. Put everything in the right perspective.

First she said that the kings brother never fought in another war after Agencourt. Then she says he went on to fight in battles after Angcourt the two statements can't be right. 🤔☘️

I never see documentaries in Blighty about the battle of Watling st ... the battle that put pay to Boudicca's plan for a green and pleasant land. And yet it is one of the most important battles to be fought in the UK. Another battle that comes to mind is Bannockburn. Why not look for those dead? What am I saying? I can't get the idea out of my head that this documentary with F all to show is actually quite jingoistic. At one point I was expecting to hear Jerusalem ... I mean what mind juxtaposes Agincourt with Waterloo ... besides the latter was in fact won by Blucher and the Prussians. Despite my musings, thank you for uploading all these very interesting documentaries.

Want to watch the Agincourt documentary, but can’t find series 1, ep 1. Only series 2, ep 1. Is series one still available, don’t want to start in the middle

It would be nice in future documentaries, if there would be a better proof-reading of the text being used in the close captioning. I have lost count of the misspelling of the word Agincourt, I lost count (and it was disconcerting) when reading the transcripts and close captioning.

Bouvines battle is very well known too.
