The Battle of Agincourt was a major English victory in the Hundred Years' War. The battle occurred on Friday, 25 October 1415, near modern-day Azincourt, in northern France. Henry V's victory at Agincourt, against a numerically superior French army, crippled France and started a new period in the war during which Henry married the French king's daughter and then Henry's son, Henry VI, was made heir to the throne of France.

Painting information.
- In addition to filing off any flash from the figure, the bottom should be flattened where the ingate was removed.
- Wash the figure in warm soapy water in preparation for painting.
- Prime the pieces with a white undercoat as many of the colours are light. Allow 24 hours to dry.
- Paint as supplied is usually too thick. Thin with the appropriate thinners until it covers the areas touched by the brush but does not spread to other areas.
- Dry brushing is used to give large areas a subtle blended effects blending the black undercoat with a colour on raised areas. This is also used to add highlights to raised areas giving the look of more depth and animation. Washing is used to add a colour mainly to the folds.
- We recommend that you give the figures a coat of either matt or gloss varnish.
