Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. An English army, led by King Henry V, won the decisive battle of the Hundred Years’ War ongoing between the England and France. Estimates are that Henry's forces, outnumbered as many as ten to one, suffered 600 casualties to France's 6,000. Shakespeare immortalized Agincourt in his play Henry the Fifth which contained (among many) the now famous St. Crispin's Day speech.

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

– from Henry V, Act IV, Scene III
