Battle of Agincourt The Battle of Agincourt (/ˈæʒɪnkʊr/; in French, Azincourt French pronunciation: ​[azɛ̃kuʁ]) was a battle of the Hundred Years' War that resulted in an English victory.[a] The battle took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) in the County of Saint-Pol, Artois, some 40 km south of Calais (now Azincourt in northern France).[6][b] It was one of the most important English triumphs in the conflict, along with the battles of Crécy (1346) and Poitiers (1356). England's victory at Agincourt against a numerically superior French army crippled France, and started a new period in the war, which was dominated by English military successes.
