Monthly Talk – Agincourt, October 25th 1415: the most comprehensive victory by an English army on foreign soil.

Tue 19th May, 2026 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

The talk is to be given by Michael Whatley

Agincourt is not just the most famous battle in English history but is the story of one man’s determination to restore a reputation of ‘The Usurper’ handed down by his father. If he won the battle it proved that it was God’s will that he should inherit the throne. The odds against him were, some say, five to one, but judge for yourself and hear the story from the beginning.
