“…harsh and cold-blooded generalship”.
Agincourt’s bloody battlefield well described.
Not revered.
This was war in the 1400s.
Muddy, bloody, and punishing on both sides.

I’ve always thought it was funny that people who believed in Lollardy…called Lollards…were burned as heretics.
Just the word Lollard makes me giggle.
Shameful, I know.

Politics never changes.
History actually does repeat itself.
Only the faces, names, and places change.
So sad.
