France
King Henry V of England was marching from Harfleur to Calais when he utterly destroyed a much larger French force under Charles D’Albret, Marshal of France, at Agincourt. While more than 5,000 knights of the French nobility were slaughtered by the unexpected power of the English longbow, Henry’s campaign was seemingly exhausted and he soon returned to England.
