French Cavalry - Battle of Agincourt

What would drive a man to walk into a melee like this?

It’s only an English greeting.

In a battle like that one hammers with spikes would be the effective weapons, swords can't get through armor in that tight combat formation

Worst moshpit ever man too many crowd killers

how do they know which team they’re in? 😂

That seems like a very realistic heavy cavalry charge for the period and location. At least to my (very) amateur historian eye.

name?

gotta be one of the stupidest movie I saw

It's clear that it's a moviefor the English with a king who kills 20 knights of his own. What's more, there is no merit in winning a battle thanks to archers

How can they even know which is which? Their armors on both sides looks exactly the same?

How did they identify friend from foe? everyone seems to be in similar armor with no faces

I've heard that accounts says that the rain of arrows was so thick that the french army was afraid they would go through the slit of their helmets just from the sheer number. Which isn't possible if the arrows were coming from above like portrayed here, they would have to shoot straight at them.

After it's us french who Winston the war with Orléans and Castillon (300 french casualities and 3000 english casualities in one Day.

Even though the battle itself was portrayed very poorly (I hate when hollyweird makes these decisions for really no good reason), I love how they captured the brutality of of the melee combat.

battle of Agincourt 1415

Everybody is wearing plate armour.....is that accurate??

Que los ingleses no tenían diarrea y pelearon con un pañal en vez de pantalones??

ahhh the greatest warrior king to ever live. KING HNERY! KING HENRY !

How do you know whose who? Crazy

A platoon of naphta throwers would come handy for any side

Wasted opportunity :(

that's why English longbow archers are a great special unit in "age of empires" game for PC

Once Calvary was knocked off fheir mounts, the archers would set about murdering them, using knives, chisels, hammers, picks, to cut, stab, and gouge their visors, behind the knee cap, elbow joints, neckline, throat, armpits, and groin.

French knights watching the arrows rain down on them 🕵🏼🕵🏼🕵🏼👓

English / Welch bowmen. Medieval equivalent to 22nd SAS

garbage rendition of a battle for a garbage film

metal concerts got you feeling like this sometimes... one time i got trampled and ppl were getting super compressed its pretty scary because its so hot with everyone swearing you can barley breath

That looks more like a brawl than fight, I can barely tell the English and French knights apart

The French cavalry never reached the English infantry, because of the terrain, defences and the archers!!!!! thats the entrie deciding factor in this battle!!!

What a horrible way to die... goodness gracious

Reading a couple of comments with info I didn't know, the cavalry charged into a plowed field, and the English even watered it down the night before. I'm a farmer, and have moldboard plowed fields. Even on dry ground, it is like walking on pillows. Adding water to that to make mud, it would be utter suicide to attempt to cross that.

I thought the archers had had far more devastating effect before the two lines met. Indeed, I didn't think the French cavalry ever even made contact with the English line. Rather, I thought that, once the French attack was thoroughly broken up, the English, both archers and dismounted knights, advanced on foot and attacked the survivors with axes.

This is not even close. 6000 out of his 9000 troops were Bowman. The men at arms did not stand a charge. The French cavalry did not make it across the field. It is estimated that around 65000 arrows a minute were launched into the French. Henry had stickpiled arrows for over 9 years. The English were arrayed with the archers on either side of the infantry both had a forrest of sharpened stakes before them. The field was freshly plowed and the Brits watered it down even more the night before.

The draw weight on those longbows is probably insane, thats probably why they loose them in volleys to give their shoulders and backs time to rest, lol

How do you even differentiate your enemy when everyone just looks like silver iron men lol

Delicious. Shame I got older.

How could they tell who's who? I bet there were a lot of friendly killings.

When I was watching this. I didn’t know who was who. Is there a difference in armor or helmets?

I bloody despise the hollywood 'as soon as two sides meet it turns jnto a series of duals for some reason' turd.

That dreadful moment you realize John is no longer the strong young man he used to be, in the midst of the battle. He is older, weaker, he is an alcoholic, and he is likely going to die here. He could even be having alcohol withdrawals during the battle, who knows.

What brings a smile on my face is knowing " Dick Whittington ", minus his cat, had a hand in this battle. The London mayor was one of those responsible for raising funds and supplying King Henry & our army. When archers had to draw 150 to 180 lb each arrow fired from a Longbow uncountable times during practice/war, can you just imagine the strength of these hard men in a melee fight.

Movie is good but they forgot to add some colors to mark who is who

What movie is this?

That's the crappest depiction of Agincourt I've ever seen.

Name of movie?

Cool scene but how the real battle unfolded would of been so much more epic imo

Also where’s all the colors and coat of arms? 🤔

I love how they don't exaggerate the amount of troops.

Cheers for uploading this one again 🙏🏻🖖🏻😎
