fer all youse histery buffs...
If you've ever seen Henry V or read John Keagan's accounts of the battle, Agincourt was a tremendous one-sided battle in history.. French losses 5000... English losses 25... The totals have been argued over since about 1400 A.D. It is nearly legendary... Shakespeare wrote about it.
THIS REAL THING IS EVEN HUGHER.

Battle of Agincourt (1415) -- "This is London calling. Stung by the deaths of 14 British soldiers, while only inflicting 15,000 deaths on the elite French fusiliers, the armed forces of England, led by the inexperienced King Henry V, have suffered a serious setback in the Hundred Years War. The French soldiers have proven to be much more resilient in battle than King Henry's top military advisor, Sir John Falstaff, originally thought. The British public is becoming increasingly impatient with the slow pace of the Hundred Years War, which now seems destined to last well into its 101st year."
