===Battle of Agincourt===
Historians generally believe that the [[Battle of Agincourt]] was an engagement in which the English army, overwhelmingly outnumbered four to one by the French army, pulled off a stunning victory. This understanding was especially popularised by [[Shakespeare]]'s play ''[[Henry V (play)|Henry V]]''. However, recent research by Professor [[Anne Curry]], using the original enrollment records, has brought into question this interpretation. Though her research is not finished,<ref>Strickland, Matthew (2005) ''The Great Warbow''. Sutton. p,238. {{ISBN|0-7509-3167-1}}</ref> she has published her initial findings that the French outnumbered the English and the Welsh only by 12,000 to 8,000.<ref>[[Anne Curry|Curry, Anne]] (2005) ''Agincourt: A New History''.
