The King. A pretty good retelling of Shakespeare's Henry V and the battle of Agincourt.
Netflix.
Just finished watching, and absolutely agree.
If you follow along with the actual history as you're watching the movie, it makes it that much more enjoyable. The movie does not stray much from the generally accepted and documented history.
Had I been better educated about the siege of Harfleur and Battle of Agincourt when in Honfleur, we would surely have visited both locations. I believe we were only 17 mins from Harfleur, just east of Le Havre.
Thankfully, we did have at least a layman's knowledge of the area's history and visited the Bayeux Tapestry during our stay there, which tells the story of the Norman Conquest, 4 centuries before Henry V..
Our main mission in Normandy was, of course, to visit the sites of Le Debarquement (D-Day).

Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
