In the year 1415, the English king Henry V embarked on a campaign to claim the French throne. His army, outnumbered and outmatched, faced off against the mighty French forces at the Battle of Agincourt. Against all odds, the English emerged victorious, securing one of the most famous military triumphs in history.

The Road to Agincourt is a gripping historical account of the events leading up to this pivotal battle. Author Peter Hoskins delves into the complex political and military machinations that shaped the conflict, painting a vivid portrait of a tumultuous period in European history.

Hoskins begins by setting the stage for the Hundred Years' War, the long-running conflict between England and France that culminated in the Battle of Agincourt. He explores the competing claims to the French throne, the rise of nationalism in both countries, and the growing military prowess of the English army.

The author then turns his attention to the key players in the conflict. He profiles Henry V, a young and ambitious king determined to prove his legitimacy, and Charles VI, the mentally unstable king of France whose reign was marred by civil war and political turmoil.

Hoskins also provides a detailed account of the military campaigns that led up to the Battle of Agincourt. He describes the English invasion of France, the siege of Harfleur, and the subsequent march to Calais. He also analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of both armies, and the strategic decisions that were made by their commanders.

The Battle of Agincourt itself is described in vivid and gripping detail. Hoskins brings to life the chaos and carnage of the battlefield, and he provides a clear and concise account of the English victory. He also explores the aftermath of the battle, including the impact it had on the Hundred Years' War and on the development of English national identity.

The Road to Agincourt is a masterful work of historical writing. Peter Hoskins has produced a book that is both informative and engaging, and that sheds new light on one of the most important events in English history.
