Valin Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 British Battles War: Hundred Years War. Date: 25th October 1415. Place: Northern France Combatants: An English and Welsh army against a French army. Generals: King Henry V of England against the Constable of France, Charles dAlbret, Comte de Dreux. Size of the armies: The English army landed in France and besieged the port town of Harfleur some 30,000 strong. The siege took its toll, many in the army dying of disease, and a strong garrison had to be left to defend the captured port. At the Battle of Agincourt Henrys army was probably around 5,000 knights, men-at-arms and archers. Estimates of the size of the French army vary widely, from 30,000 to as high as 100,000.
