Knowing too much, knowing too little: The Battles of Agincourt and Bosworth. Part Two: the sources

''Historians are only as good as their sources, and here is the real contrast between the two battles. For Agincourt there's a great deal of evidence - for Bosworth very little.'
In part two of her lecture, Professor Anne Curry takes a critical look at the sources for these two iconic battles

l find it hard to believe that the French army at Agincourt was as few, or even fewer, than the English. As l understand it, the English victory was major news that carried all over Europe. lf one army beats a similar sized army in a far off country what is important about that?

What is a problem for the french army this day was also to recognize non-fighters people, echansons, pages, artisans, peasants, palefreniers... but it could be very hard to say that englishmen were not fewer than french army this day.
