iI know that there is debate about how many French were at the battle. We do not know and estimates normally range from 10-36,000. I am going for around 30,000 but not all knights. Would the training of a knights warhorse mean that it would actually crash into the side of a square? The...

Its actually for an ASB plot but I thought I would ask it here were the experts live. Assuming that there are about 30,000 French at Agincourt.... And they are opposed by the British 3rd division from the Waterloo campaign Being 3rd Division Lieutenant-General Count Sir Charles Alten...
