History Shorts: Agincourt (1415)

 Henry V defeated the French at Agincourt on October 25, 1415. The English wiped out a generation of French nobility in one pitched battle. The longbow leveled the playing field and shifted power away from the nobility. It also marked the beginning of professional armies and the beginning of the end of the feudal era. The sweeping victory appeared to end the Hundred Years' War. However, Henry V died soon after leading to a relaunching of hostilities.
