The Agincourt King: The Plantagenet Legacy, Book 5

Review: Agincourt: Henry V, the Man-at-Arms & the Archer
This book is a very solid overview of not only the battle but events leading up to it, from the beginning of Henry V’s reign, the coup attempt at Southampton, the siege of Harfleur, and the long detour the army had to make to find a crossing of the Somme. It’s not until about halfway through that we get to the battle. I’m not complaining, mind you. You can’t tell the story without the background.

| Before I read this book, I never realized that Queen Jane had a sister. What a surprise! Apparently the two were not very close, for we really don’t encounter the queen except in passing. And the book is not about Queen Jane at all. Written in first ...more | |

You are very sweet, Majenta. I'll be out very soon with book 3 of my trilogy, then on to a different century. I love the Godwines and will miss them, but so many other histories await!
