Inside the English Longbow How 6 000 Welsh Archers Defeated 30 000 French Knights Full Process

Step inside a 15th-century English archer's workshop and discover how a single weapon — a six-foot stave of seasoned yew wood, drawn by a peasant from the hills of Wales — destroyed the flower of French chivalry in a muddy field in northern France on Saint Crispin's Day, October 25, 1415, ending the careers of three dukes, an archbishop, the Constable of France, and ninety lords of the realm in less than four hours of combat.

This full-process historical documentary explores the engineering, the training, and the battlefield catastrophe of the Battle of Agincourt — the most famous longbow victory in human history, fought between 6,000 to 9,000 exhausted English soldiers under King Henry V and 20,000 to 30,000 fresh French troops under the Constable Charles d'Albret. Built using seasoned heartwood and sapwood of yew imported from Italy and Spain, hemp bowstrings waxed against rain, ash arrow shafts fletched with goose feathers, and forged bodkin arrowheads designed to punch through plate armor, the English longbow turned the muddy field of Agincourt into a slaughterhouse for the most heavily armored knights in Europe.
