About this listen
Sir Ranulph Fiennes' personal account of the Battle of Agincourt gives a unique view of one of the most significant turning points in English history.
Six hundred years after the Battle of Agincourt, Sir Ranulph Fiennes casts new light on this epic event that has resonated throughout British and French history.
On 25th October 1415, on a French hillside near the village of Agincourt, four men sheltered from the rain and prepared for battle. All four were English knights, ancestors of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, and part of the army of England's King Henry V. Across the valley, four sons of the French arm of the Fiennes family were confident that the Dauphin's army would win the day....
Ranulph Fiennes explains how his own ancestors were key players through the centuries of turbulent Anglo-French history that led up to Agincourt, and he uses his experience as expedition leader and soldier to give us a fresh perspective on one of the bloodiest periods of medieval history.
With fascinating detail on the battle plans, weaponry and human drama of Agincourt, this is a gripping evocation of a historical event integral to English identity.

A family that made history
Impecibly researched and thoughtfully presented, chronologically and with predujustice of a family on both sides of English and French history, artfully presented from a warriors prespective. I could not have been more impressed on this intimate insight into a family spanning centuries and how survival during change - of religion, kings and courtly plots can increase or devastate a families prospects and fortunes for generations. This is not the usual "helicopter view" and rehashed, revised history of the Kings of England and France this is an intimate family portrait that brings history alive.
