A Method of Attack

Another way to go about examining your proof is to create a chart similar to the one below. Fill in a column for each web site that you find information. The read across each row to make decisions about what is true and what is false. Don't forget to use just plain old logic! What is the likelihood of 5000 wet, weary, battle warn soldiers jumping up and down like middle schoolers, yelling "We can still pluck ewe!" Did it occur to anyone that the troops didn't even speak the same language?!?

French were overwhelmingly favored to win	Agree - they outnumbered Henry's army by about seven to one
French threatened to cut off the middle finger	Middle and index finger
English won in a major upset	Agree
English waved the middle finger at the French in defiance	Conscious that it was the v-shaped notch which was the difference between the two armies' relative fortunes that day, the archers filed past the captured French waving v-shaped fingers and elbows
Longbow made of the native English yew tree	Not Mentioned
Pulling bow was called plucking yew	Disagree - The "pluck yew" is pure invention - although ingenious.
English said, "See, we can still pluck yew!	Think about it! The French speak French, not English!

Congratulations for reading through the entire page. As your reward I will give you a clue that will help you discover significant information. I will tell you this TRUE fact. The incident of English archers waving their defiant gesture to the French was written about by Jean Froissart. He was a medieval historian who wrote as series of books called Chronicles. You won't find the passages describing the story on Internet, but you will find information about Jean Froissart. If you have been reading and learning about the Battle of Agincourt, by carefully reading about his life, one of those light bulbs should flash over your head as you realize a major error in the story.
