You see this chase is hotly followed, friends. Henry V




We will try to let you enjoy our camping pictures on the next few blogs. :)


Thus comes the English with full power upon us; And more than carefully it us concerns to answer royally in our defences. Therefore the Dukes of Berri and of Bretagne, Of Brabant and of Orleans, shall make forth, and you, Prince Dauphin, with all swift dispatch, to line and new repair our towns of war with men of courage and with means defendant; for England his approaches makes as fierce as waters to the sucking of a gulf. It fits us then to be as provident as fear may teach us late examples left by the fatal and neglected English upon our fields...

Witness our too much memorable shame when Cressy battle fatally was struck, and all our princes captiv'd by the hand of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales.

King of France in Henry V.

In the battle of Agincourt, the British lost not much more than a few dozen men and boys and the French lost over ten thousand which Henry V called a real royal fellowship of death.

Shakespeare teaches us history and excellent English in his plays.
