The Battle of Agincourt took place 25 October 1415.
The English army, led by King Henry V, famously achieved victory in spite of the numerical superiority of its opponent. The battle repeated other English successes in the Hundred Years’ War.
It was commemorated in the Shakespeare play Henry V.
There are several movie versions of Henry V, including ones staring Kenneth Branagh, and Laurence Olivier. One of my favorite versions of the Band of Brothers speech is from the 1994 movie Renaissance Man.
