		The battle, which was fought on St Crispin's day, is commemorated in the "Crispin Crispian" speech in the play Henry V (c.1600 and 1632) by Shakespeare and made into a film starring Sir Laurence Olivier (c.1944) with a later version starring Kenneth Brannagh (c.1989).
		The battle was fought between an English army commanded by King Henry V of England and the French army commanded by Charles d'Albret, constable of France.
		In the battle, which was preceded by heavy rains, the French troops were at a disadvantage because of their weighty armour, the narrowness of the battleground, the muddy terrain, and the faulty tactics of their superiors, notably in using massed formations against a mobile enemy.

		Barker, a British biographer (The Brontës) and accomplished medievalist, brings an excellent synergy of academic and literary skills to this study of the 1415 British campaign in France and the battle that was its climax, around which she elaborately reconstructs the conflict's antecedents.
		A seeming inconsistency is that the battle and the book are referred to as `Agincourt', but the castle near where the battle took place is called `Azincourt'.
		For the French the battle is brief and disastrous.

		Since Jean III must have been born no later than 1345, at the youngest, he would have been 70 at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.
		It seems highly unlikely that he would participate in a battle at such an advanced age.
