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.
