Ok it was the hundred years war still going on Henry V did not start it. In fact he had a claim on the French throne due to his marriage to the Daughter of the french king and theough his ancesstors. Star Donut is correct you have your battles messed up. Harfleur was the battle when he made " once more into the breech fellows" he was referign to the breech in the city walls. At Agincourt he disgused himself as a comman soldier and walked and talk amongest his troops befoe the battle. Also Agincourt was a major English Victory. An English Army of about 5000 defeated a French Army of 60000. The English won becasue the French had to attack ona narrow front due to the terrian and it had beenrainign hard. The French Knights charged into the mass fire of the English long bowmen coupled with the soft ground from the rain which casued the french knights in heavy armor to sink into the ground. It was a slaughter.
