Today in the Middle Ages...



Via the British Museum:

Today is Saint Crispin’s Day, date of the battle of Agincourt in 1415.
 
‘And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.’
Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3

Here is Henry V's funerary armour on display at the Shakespeare Exhibition:



This major exhibition will run until 25 November, don’t miss out:
