Agincourt

Nicholas Hook is an English forester and skilled longbowman fleeing exile after defying corrupt local authorities and church officials. He joins the campaign of King Henry V in France as a mercenary archer, navigating the brutal realities of medieval warfare alongside a young French woman he rescues from the siege of Soissons. Their harrowing journey culminates in the mud and slaughter of the historic clash at Agincourt in 1415.
