As the MoneyChanger puts it: On St. Crispin's day, 25 October 1415, English King Henry V won the Battle of Agincourt in France during the 100 Years War. Henry's Welsh & English longbowmen wore out the more heavily armed French troops. With 6,000 to 9,000 men, 5/6 of them bowmen, the English beat 36,000 French troops, inflicting 7,000 - 10,000 casualties and suffering only 112 dead.

I've always like this series of woodcuts from Durer.
