Show Notes

Henry V shatters the Dauphin Louis’s hubris. Despite their superior numbers, carnage awaits the French at a battle called Agincourt. But the bad luck doesn’t end there. Two Dauphins die suddenly in quick succession, catapulting an unknown prince — and the kingdom — into the unknown. 

If you want to learn about the last English invasion of France, listen back to season six, episode five, where Edward III wins the Battle of Crécy. 

Plus, in this week’s bonus episode, Dan and Danièle dive into France’s litany of failures at Agincourt, and hear Dan’s excellent impression of Robert Pattinson in The King. 

You can get all of that and more on our Patreon. In addition to ad-free listening and bonus episodes, you get to chat with mediaeval buffs from around the world, shape the direction of the show, and watch exclusive behind the scenes videos from the team.
