Description

Done it for a friend, but I'm uploading here also

It's a portrait of french Knights at the battle of Agincourt, 1415. Had to do a little research for the armor details, and it's not perfect, of course. The Scanner messed up a little bit, and some details were lost, so it's not a masterpiece or something. But it's reasonable anyway, so I'm posting it here. Any kind of feedback is extremely welcome.

The Battle of Agincourt, (close to Calais on northern France) was an extremely famous victory of the British army of 6000 men, most of them longbowmen ,trained peasants, but peasants nonetheless, and dismounted knights against the flower of the french nobility, consisting of approximately 36000 knights and infantry during the early XV century. The muddy battlefield hampered the advance of the really well equipped, but terribly heavy french knights, allowing the experienced british archers, armed with the famed longbow, to pour huge amounts of arrows at the enemy, and finishing the drowning knights with clubs and daggers. That was one of the most incredible victories of british history, and proved once again that the cavalry could be defeated by well trained -and much cheaper - infantry.

 The Battle of Agincourt was an interesting but truly amazing battle.


 As a different note, are you sure 'Game of thrones' depicts people back then accurately? Just because you see something in a Television show doesn't mean it's accurate. These Television writers have a habit of making people look more vile than what they really were for reasons that are beyond me.
