![]() ![]() ![]() Populated with chivalrous heroes, dastardly spies, and a ferocious and bold king, Agincourt is as earthshaking as its subject - and confirms Juliet Barker’s status as both a historian and a storyteller of the first rank. But she also takes us beyond the battlefield into palaces and common cottages to bring into vivid focus an entire medieval world in flux. ![]() She paints a gripping narrative of the October 1415 clash between outnumbered English archers and heavily armored French knights. It is the classic underdog story in the history of warfare, and generations have wondered how the English - outnumbered by the French six to one - could have succeeded so bravely and brilliantly.ĭrawing upon a wide range of sources, eminent scholar Juliet Barker casts aside the legend and shows us that the truth behind Agincourt is just as exciting, just as fascinating, and far more significant.

The way I took the story, it is an indication on how often men do not take the time to truly understand women's experiences fully and deeply, how women are rarely believed when they are talking about their lives and stories, and how things that many men view as a "harmless" desire (untying the green ribbon) can in fact be incredibly harmful it reads to me a lot like many assault stories that aren't on a surface level cut and dried "violent attack in a alley by a masked stranger," but rather "someone who I loved and trusted coerced me and wore me down until my resistance was pointless".
