On October 25th, near Agincourt, Henry V's English army, mainly composed of base troops and a small contingent of noble knights, beaten the army of Constable of France Charles d'Albret, a much larger force boasting the best heavy cavalry in European countries. The English success was determined by using the Welsh longbow. This weapon ended up being user friendly, even with a brief training. It might hit at 200 yards and penetrate the armor of knights.
