10/25/1415: The Welsh longbow defeats the armored knight. Henry V's
victory over the Agincourt gave England for the first time the upper hand
in the Hundred Years' War.
And then we marched to Paris gates,
With drums and trumpets so merrily;
O then bespoke the king of France,
"The Lord have mercy on my men and me."
"King Henry Fifth's Conquest of France," Child #164
(There's that "Agincourt" song too.)
