Agincourt

Mssr Blease posted some pics here of his recent travels to France, including some from Crecy and Agincourt, which prompted me to dive into the Man Cave archives to find mine from there.  Unfortunately many are in an old format I cant use, but here is one I can!

  7. Cool pic. The novel 'Azincourt' is an awesome read. http://bernardcornwell.net/index.cfm?page=2&BookId=49
    Read somewhere that it is to be made into a movie.
