<p class="MsoNormal">Today, 25 October, is St. Crispin’s Day. This day in 1415 saw 5,000 dysentery-ridden English archers and 1,000 men at arms under King Henry V destroy a 30,000 man French army at the Battle of Agincourt. By choosing his ground carefully
in what today would be called a “force multiplier”, coupled with his archers, Henry was able to even the odds. Over French 10,000 squires, knights, counts, and dukes died in the three-hour battle, along with perhaps another 10,000 nameless infantrymen. English
losses were a little over 100. <o:p></o:p></p>
