Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Val says Malc and I are still a-bed on the 25th October, St. Crispin's Day, waking early hearing Whitby church clock strike 7 although as the clocks have changed, it is only 6 am.
The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory in the Hundred Years' War. The battle took place on Friday, 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), near modern-day Azincourt, in northern France. Henry V's victory at Agincourt, against a numerically superior French army, crippled France and started a new period in the war during which Henry V married the French king's daughter, and their son, later Henry VI of England and Henry II of France, was made heir to the throne of France as well as of England.
At least 112 dead, unknown wounded, 7,000–10,000 (mostly killed) and about 1,500 noble prisoners
