Wow! A Brit that doesn't believe the myth of English Archers winning the day.
BTW Who eventually won the 100 years war?

Well, I believe it was the English Archers who casually walked up to the French Knights who were stuck, knee deep in corpses and mud and slit their throats. Given that the English army at Agincourt was something like 80% archers, it would be hard for them not to have played a part in the victory.

As for the result of the 100 years war, I dont see the French speaking English these days, do you? Agincourt was a suprising victory, but we lost the war when our allies switched sides.

Actually, in that era most English nobility spoke French. Often as their mother tongue.

Also the loss of the 100 years war can also be attributed to the shifting dynastic fortunes. The House of Plantagent faded with Edward III and Richard II. Then came the disputes between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists, while France saw the growth of a newly invigorated monarchy.

Wasn't there an hallucinating Teenage Girl involved as well? And a Dolphin?

Man, maybe you Kiwi guys really do spend too much time buzzed. Apparently your history texts need some rewrites or rereads.

Girl = Joan of Arc and her 'Visions'
Dolphin = The 'rightful' heir to the French throne. His title was 'Dauphin' which also means Dolphin.

Someone else tell me they at least got the the Joan of Arc reference.

I got the Joan of Arc reference, but the dolphin bit threw me as I studied German in school, not French.
