French Mistakes at the Battle of Agincourt
-
Overconfidence:
The French outnumbered the English and thought they would easily win, leading to poor planning. -
Heavy Armor in Muddy Fields:
Many French knights wore heavy armor and charged across muddy, freshly ploughed farmland—this made them slow, tired, and easy targets. -
Underestimated the English Longbow:
They didn’t take the power and range of the English longbow seriously.Many French soldiers were killed before even reaching the front lines. -
Poor Communication:
There was confusion among French leaders, and they didn’t coordinate their attacks well. -
Attacked in Waves:
French forces charged in separate waves instead of together (x 3) making it easier for the English to defend.
