At Agincourt is a historical fiction novel by G. A. Henty that tells the story of the famous Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The novel follows the adventures of young Englishman Martin Conyngton, who joins King Henry V's army as a page and eventually becomes a squire. Martin witnesses the harsh realities of war and the bravery of his fellow soldiers as they face off against the French army. The novel provides a detailed account of the battle, including the tactics used by both sides and the key figures involved. Along the way, Martin also finds love and friendship amidst the chaos of war. At Agincourt is a thrilling and educational read for anyone interested in medieval history and warfare.Perhaps it would be best, Master Guy. I fear not three men if they stand up face to face with me, but to be stabbed in the back is a thing that neither strength nor skill can save one from. But as I care not to be always going about in armour I will expend some of my crowns in buying a shirt of mail also. 'Tis better by far than armour, for a man coming up behind could stab one over the line of the back-piece or under the arm, while if you have mail under your coat they will strike at you fair between the shoulders, and it is only by striking high up on the neck that they have any chance with you. A good coat of mail is money well laid out, and will last a lifetime; and even if it cost me all the silversmith's crowns I will have a right good one.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
