After Agincourt: Henry V's French Campaigns

About this episode

The episode explores the aftermath of the Battle of Agincourt and the subsequent seven-year struggle involving Henry V's campaigns in France.

What happened after the Battle of Agincourt? How did Henry V's victory turn into a seven-year struggle of sieges, diplomacy, ambition, murder and missed destiny? Matt Lewis is joined by W.B. Bartlett to explore a brutal and often overlooked phase of the Hundred Years’ War and why the post-Agincourt years matter so much to medieval, English and French history.
