About this audiobook

A unique novel, looking at one the greatest battles, a battle that was a turning point in history, from many points of view, by a master storyteller.

Bernard Cornwell has been thinking about this subject for years. He has long wanted to write a book about a single battle, the events that lead up to it, the actual days in the battle and the aftermath from multiple viewpoints.

Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, on St Crispin's Day, is one of the best known battles, in part through the brilliant depiction of it in Shakespeare's Henry V, in part because it was a brilliant and unexpected English victory and in part because it was the first battle won by the use of the longbow. This was a weapon developed in this form only by the English - parishes were forced to train boys from as young as eight daily - and enabled them to dominate the European battlefields for the rest of the century.

Lively historical characters abound on all sides but in Bernard Cornwell's hands the fictional characters, horsemen, archers, nobles, peasants are authentic and vivid, and the hour by hour view of the battle is dramatic and gripping.

    A very readable fictional account of one of the great battles which remains in the English national psyche. The story is told from the point of view of the archers, who were pivotal in this battle, and again form part of the English myth of that era. Welsh voices pop up occasionally as a reminder that the word "English" is often over-used. It does not shirk the horror of war - mud, blood and shit. Perhaps the main weakness is an exaggeration of the qualities of the archers - they become almost godlike figures in their strength.

    I don't think it's Cornwall's best but it's still decent, worth a read if you're interested in the era.

    “Azincourt” is quick-paced and not for the faint hearted. This author is in my opinion second only to Robert E. Howard when it comes to depicting vivid battle scenes. Mr Cornwell never shies away from depicting the horrors of war, conveying every gruesome detail of the dead or dying. There's an emphasis on the horror of cutting out/stabbing men's eyes in this tale.I liked most of the characters, though Hook – the hero of the piece – seemed lacking somehow. Sir John, one of the other main characters, was perhaps the best-drawn, while Martin the evil priest made an effective villain. The historical side of things was well-researched. I would’ve rated this novel four stars but, like all the Bernard Cornwell books that I’ve read to date, I’ve deducted a star because the story is let down by substandard elements of style. Long-winded sentences, adverbs, and adjectives are plentiful. The needless dialogue attribution drives me to distraction whilst the overuse of the word “then” is surprising for such a seasoned author.The long-winded sentences are kept going by numerous commas plus “ands”, often aided by a “then”, like with the quote below:>Will of the Dale put a bodkin into a rider's throat and the man jerked back under the arrow's strike, then rebounded forward from his saddle's high cantle and his lance buried its point in a furrow and so lifted the man out of his saddle as his horse galloped on, eyes white and visible through the holes in its face armour, and the man was dragged along by the stirrup as the horse took an arrow in the eye and veered to one side and so brought down two more horses. It was one horse, Hook thought, judging from the sound, and then, suddenly, the horse and its rider were visible, riding eastward. Judging from the sound Hook thought it was one horse. Suddenly the horse and its rider were visible, riding eastward.We're three ranks deep," Sir John said, "and they're at least twenty ranks deep."So what's going to happen here?" Michael wanted to know.< The reader can’t fail to know who’s speaking in this two-character exchange. “Michael said” would’ve been pointless enough but “Michael wanted to know” is a complete waste of words. He’s asked a question, thus it’s obvious that he wants to know something. Even if the reader did need to know who was speaking here the author would be using four words instead of two. As it happens, he’s using four instead of none. These are simple rules of style that are being ignored.I sometimes wonder why I keep reader this author’s works. Truth is, despite the poor English style, his historical knowledge and ability to tell a story are superb. He’s brilliant at creating dramatic scenes and tense conflict, which are spoiled only by the issues already mentioned. If he’s writing about a period or situation that interests me I’ll check it out. If he picks something I’m only half interested in, however, I won’t go near it because of the distracting elements of style.

    A gripping, bloody tale of Henry V's attempt to assert his claim to the French throne. Cornwall's books are always very well-researched, and if you can bear the gore this is a good read. I think it is fair to say that the depictions of violence are justified by the reality of the events - he does not hold back from describing the real horror of such brutal hand-to-hand fighting.

    What an excellent read. A famous battle between the French and the English that should have been a decisive victory for the French. For historic detail you couldn't ask for better and the story races along at a cracking pace, building with tension to the vividly told battle sequence. From the arrival of the English army in France, we hear of their the long march to Calais, the highs and the lows involved with army life, the horrors of siege warfare, their problems with hunger and the wretchedness of a foot soldiers battle with illness. It's all there in well written, gruesome detail. Some of that detail was hard for me to read, being so violent, yet in spite of it all I can believe it to be an honest account of how things were for these two armies and the Kings who led them. It was the archers with their long bows who made victory for the English possible and it was the mud of the battlefield that helped bring down the heavily armoured French. Gutsy action and language, well researched facts have gone to make this Bernard Cornwell novel a must read for Historical Fiction fans.

    Cornwell delivers another of his remarkably immediate accounts of battle and warfare from below. This story is as powerful as any of his others but I did not feel my usual level of engagement with his characters. In part, this is because the formula that he applies is too apparent when used on a new series. I did not lose sight of the fictional nature of this tale even though I was deeply engaged by the history.
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

    A stand-alone focusing on Henry V and the Battle of Agincourt, the work has strongly written battle scenes, yet uncharacteristic metaphysical elements that Cornwell is not known for. Fun, but not as strong as the Arthurian series, Stonehenge, or other Cornwell books.

    Cornwell's writing is simply amazing. He expertly weaves the lives of his characters around huge events that allows the reader to experience both parts of history without feeling manipulated. It goes without saying that Cornwell's descriptions of battle and strategy are excellent, but his writing is equally stunning in how he brings individuals from such a foreign time and place to life.

     Excellent page turner of a book.

    Follows one Nicholas Hook, Archer, from trouble on the Lord's estate to trouble in London to joining the king's army in France. He survives these adventures, and the road leads to Agincourt (the title uses the spelling of the French village, rather than the usual English version).

    Sometimes a little contrived - how two particular people happen to meet on a battlefield filled with 25,000 people is perhaps a little far-fetched, but you can forgive him that when it is such a rip-roaring read. Full of great historical detail but it's a good story that rolls along at a good pace too.

    One of his best.

    Very well done. Captures the gory details of medieval battle, and more interestingly to me, the characters seem medieval (rather than modern) in their thinking. The voice of Saint Crispin (& Crispinian) in Hook's ear was very nicely done. Cornwell seems fairly scrupulous in terms of historical accuracy with respect to the battle itself, and as well to the living conditions of the time. Somewhat surprisingly the siege of Harfleur takes up a huge chunk of the book, perhaps more than the battle of Agincourt itself (and to be fair real events had similar durations in time, the battle of Agincourt was only a few hours). Particularly enjoyed the rendering of the siege of Harfleur and the tunneling operations that were a part of it.Heading off now to re-read the Agincourt section of [The Face of Battle] by Keegan....

    I ordered this book thinking it was a detailed look at the Battle of Agincourt, certainly one of the most celebrated battles in all of world history. It was soon clear, however, that this work of historical fiction actually touches only briefly on the battle itself. There are currently two other books named Agincourt which provide a more in depth, scholarly analysis.The book focuses on an English archer named Nicholas Hook, who through a confrontation with a crooked priest becomes an outlaw and is forced to leave his home in England. He becomes a mercenary, spends some time fighting in a French civil war before returning to England and ultimately becoming part of the army of Henry V which invades France in 1415, leading to the climactic Battle of Agincourt. Historical events are all seen through the eyes of young Hook.While I was already somewhat familiar with the history of the era, the book does contain some very interesting and enlightening information on the composition and fighting techniques of the armies of the period, especially as related to the siege of Harfleur which takes up a large part of the book.All in all, however, while the Battle of Agincourt does take place near the end of the book, it plays only a minor role in the story. This is a very mediocre piece of historical fiction, written quite simply and could easily be enjoyed by a junior high student who might benefit from an introduction to this historical period.

    This its a fabulous audio book, and an instance where the narrator made all the difference. Not being a great lover of military history I suspect I would not have made it through a print version, but the audio version was full of excitement and the different characters were vivid and well defined.

    Obviously extremely well researched, this book leaves you not doubting for a moment that Cornwell knows his stuff. It is also written in a very captivating way, albeit revelling a little too much in the blood and guts I thought, with graphic descriptions of torture and killing. But I suppose it was a vicious time, too. As a linguist I naturally wonder whether the anachronism of the modern language takes away from the credibility of the story, but then again if it was written in the language of the time it would be fairly unreadable...

    Agincourt begins with a decision to commit murder. Nicholas Hook, an archer for the local lord, attempts to kill one of his family's sworn enemies, a member of the Perrill brood. He is convinced that if he were to kill a Perrill, the curse that plagues his family would be lifted. He would be welcomed home and all members of the Hook pride would flourish. Instead, he merely grazes Perrill, which he is convinced is the curse at work, and finds himself explaining the incident to his lord with as few words as he can summon, the norm for Hook. Thanks to the lord's soft spot for Hook he is shipped off to London without the punishment some believe he fully deserved. In London, after assisting in the execution of men and women deemed heretics, he hears a voice telling him to stop Sir Martin, a priest of his lord and a man not fond of Hook, from raping a young woman who was sentenced to die. He is uncertain of not only the voice, he believes it might be god speaking to him, but of what it is telling him to do. Hook leaves for France and make his way as a renegade archer. He finds himself in Soissons, France and in the middle of a massacre. Hiding in a church, he once again hears the mysterious voice and this time acts as it demands. He saves a woman, Melisande, from being raped.Hook and Melisande escape and find they like each other's company. While trying to make their way back to England, he finds himself in the service of King Henry V and part of the plan to conquer France so Henry can rightfully take his place as King of England and France.Cornwell brilliantly describes the workings of a bow and clearly demonstrates the strength needed to harness the full force by the archer. His descriptions, which border on lessons, are worked flawlessly into the story. He is also quite graphic in describing the damage a bow, in the right hands, can do. One note for squeamish readers, you may find yourself passing over a few battle scenes quickly as Cornwell does not leave much to the imagination. This is not a deterrent as these same scenes add an intensity and brutal reality to the work that brings 15th century warfare to life. The story is fast paced with a lot tension thanks to Hook's penchant for attracting trouble and desire to right what he perceives as wrong. All of the drama is neatly resolved in the end but that doesn't hurt the story. Cornwell is a real storyteller. He put the reader in the middle of the action so they can feel a bowstring being pulled and bones crunching beneath a sword. It's a great read.

    Blood and guts and war and fighting galore! I wasn't sure I'd like this, but the close attention to historical detail made it all interesting. The plot-line was a bit pedestrian...poor, but strong and brave Nick Hook works his way up from outlaw to archer. He saves the fair Melisande at the battle of Soissons were she is about to be raped by an Englishman. They escape and fall in love, only to travel back to France the following year to lay siege to Harfleur and then eventually fight the big battle of Agincourt. The fate of Melisande's father is left unresolved, which annoyed me. Melisande is also annoyingly perfect. Read this one for the history!

    Agincourt is pretty standard fare from Cornwell, for good and ill. He tells a middling back story with modest character development, but sets it in a fascinating historical context with some smashingly good action. Few writers surpass Cornwell in describing a battle, whether it be Richard Sharpe leading a 'forlorn hope' at Badajoz in the Napoleonic Wars (Sharpe's Company (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series #13) or Lord Uhtred on the 'shield wall' in Saxon days The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1). Here he adds the young archer Nicholas Hook at the siege of Harfleur and the battle of Agincourt in 1415. The book checks in at 464 pages, which for my money are about 150 too many. The entire point of the book is to get to the historic battle and he dawdles. As most readers will know, the historic battle of Agincourt saw a small English Army under King Henry V defeat a French army roughly 8 times its size. The English archers played a critical role here and continued the shifting importance from man-at-war to the average figthing-man in battle (a trend started at Crecy in 1346). Agincourt was immortalized by Shakespeare's Henry V (Folger Shakespeare Library). Cornwell does a nice job describing camp life. And the siege at Harfleur is interesting, but it is after all a siege and it is in the nature of sieges to be rather dull, gray endurance contests. The character development is may be even a bit thinner than usual. All that being said I still give the book 3.5 stars for the excellent description of the battle preparation and execution. And after all, the point of the book is the battle and if he takes too long to get there Cornwell still brings the action to the page like few others. I add a bonus half-star for Cornwell's trademark historical note at the end. All historical novels should have such an appendage. Cornwell refers the reader to several books, including the excellent Face of Battle by John Keegan and another Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle That Made England by Juliet Barker that I have not read but that sounds interesting. Recommended for fans of Cornwell and medieval battle.

    For the most part, I read historical fiction to learn. This means I must choose my authors carefully and only go for those who do meticulous research and incorporate very little fiction into their works. Bernard Cornwell is such an author. Having read a few of his books before, I knew that he got the facts right and often fictionalized a real person as the main character for his stories. This makes for a terrific vehicle to propel the story as well as an emotional hook.Hook is right. Nick Hook is the main character in Agincourt and the story unfolds around him. He’s an archer (who really did serve with Henry V although of course his particular story is Cornwell’s fiction). Much is made of the English archer in this story. I knew about them…in the sense that I knew they existed, but didn’t understand why so much had been made of them in history. Now I know. It took years to make a proper archer; a lifetime in fact. Not only did one have to be super-hero strong, but accurate and determined. One had to have composure and a surety of self that bordered on arrogance. When those elements came together in one man, it was a menace. When thousands of those men came together it was a slaughter.Medieval warfare was a close and bloody thing, as was all warfare up until the invention of guns, cannon and bombs. At great risk to yourself, you mostly had to get right up on a person to kill him. Bows gave us distance and safety. Crossbows are good for fairly close work, but the longbow gave the English a higher degree of safety than did the French crossbows. In the historical note at the end, the author’s research estimates that an English archer could launch 12 arrows a minute with a high degree of accuracy. 6000 of them could loose 72,000 arrows in a single minute. No wonder the sight is often described as blotting out the sun.Those with weak stomachs will do well to avoid this novel (as a matter of fact, it was reviews warning me of such graphic violence that spurred me to download it in the first place – what the average woman hates, I often enjoy). The battle scenes pull no punches and describe killing blows over and over. It gets a bit wearing, but the technique is good to engage the reader’s emotions. In this day and age it is difficult to imagine such a battle. The hand to hand fighting required great skill and detachment. Ruthlessness and singleness of purpose. I don’t think they make men like that anymore. I think it’s been bred out of us.Another thing that makes it a difficult read, especially for women, is the constant rape that follows fighting. Those are the real victims. It didn’t matter who she was, if she had a vagina, it was violated. If she was lucky, the horde would kill her when they were done. If the scenes had gone on any longer than they did (raping is largely contained to the beginning, when two particular rapes set Hook in motion and give him some purpose), I would have had to skip over them.I liked the story of Hook and Millicent. It rang with some truth and wasn’t overly mushy. Romance was needed in this story to give us a reprieve from the constant suffering and brutality. I liked her character and the fact that she got a little bit of her own back in the end.That was also satisfying; the close villains (meaning, not the French who are the overall enemy of the piece) are drawn very well. The Perrills are the generations-long sworn enemies of the Hooks. They plague Nick throughout the novel and are right bastards. The commentary on the priesthood and church is a bit heavy handed at times, but mostly focused into a single character; Sir Martin Perrill, a priest, certifiable lunatic and a serial rapist. His sons Tom and Richard aren’t any better. The way they are constantly tormenting Hook and announcing their evil intentions is a bit stagey at times, but necessary to give us a rollercoaster to ride. The ups and downs are very effective to grab our emotions and side us solidly with Nick. I did quite like the way he took down the last Perrill.But religion doesn’t get a totally bad rap. The device (other than his valuable skill with the longbow) to keep Nick alive in the face of unlikely odds is the voice of St. Crispinian that whispers in his ear from time to time, giving advice and warnings. Nick is one of the few archers who pray in Soissons, his first French deployment. When the French invade and slaughter every archer they can find, Nick escapes because of St. Crispinian’s advice.King Henry V is also a praying man. He feels that he has the divine right to the English throne as well as the French. I loved Father Christopher’s commentary about how he’s sure that the French priests are telling their men that god is on their side, too. The arrogant religious fervor of these times is galling to the modern atheist. It makes me shake my head at the weakness and stupidity of humanity. The fact that it still occurs today is astonishing. Can’t we evolve dammit!?Overall though, this was a terrific story told well, with lots of action and intrique. It’s bloody and brutal, but I learned a lot and gained some perspective regarding the times.

    I listened to this book during my commutes this Feb/March. Like all Bernard Cornwell novels, this story was gritty and full of violence. The everyday tasks and annoyances of life in a darker time were in full view. Agincourt gives us an archer's view of this famous battle. Cornwell, as usual, gives us a very detailed look at what a battle must have been like when experienced in the front lines. Great care is given to the details of period armor and weapons, what they were specifically used for and how things like soil condition could turn a battle. The historical elements are also profound. Priests are just men, some are good and some are evil. Yeah, that sounds about right. As far as the archery goes, he hit all the right chords. When you know the things a middle ages archer would worry about on a daily basis, it makes that person slightly more relatable. As always, I look forward to more novels from this fun author.

    The first of Bernard Cornwell's books I have read. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Haven't really read much historical fiction but this is certianly my cup of tea and I'll be looking into more of these books. The build up to the final battle was good and I felt that the author conveyed the sense of being an archer in a medieval army very well.Sometimes the story felt a little clumsy and predictable, the inevitable attempt of the dodgy priest on Hook's wife and the battle between John Cornwailles and Lanferrelle, but these didn't cause me too much grief.

    Agincourt, place where disease-stricken and hungry English army managed to defeat mighty French army that had both superiority in numbers and (foot /cavalry) troop quality on their side.Responsible for the English victory were long-bowmen, ordinary folk drafted to war and “despised” by the noblemen because of their lethality (archers were always considered to be “unmanly”, “un-warrior-like” through centuries from ancient Greeks onward). Story is told from the viewpoint of the archer, Nicholas Hook – we follow him from the day he was exiled from his hometown in England and pressed into mercenary service in Soissons only to end up as a part of Henry the Fifths grand army marching to subdue French. Brutal war is about to take place (mind you life in that time was pretty harsh itself and book describes this in great detail).Recommended.

    This novel set in the Agincourt campaign and battle of 1415 is a good read, with colourful and interesting characters. Plenty of bloody scenes, of course, and like a number of other Cornwell novels, it suffers somewhat from very repetitive battle scenes with very similar descriptions of individual fights and killings. But overall a good novel based on very vivid and memorable historical events.

    Cornwell's Agincourt is a one-off novel (not part of series) taking place during Henry V's chevauchee through France in 1415. It follows the fortunes of an archer named Nick Hook, who is plagued by enemies of his family and narrowly escaped a French atrocity at Soissons. Returning to England, he is enlisted in Henry's campaign, which began with the long siege and capture of Harfleur, and then a long trek through northern France as the army made its way toward Calais to evacuate back to England. Henry believed he was on a mission from god, however, and was making a statement claiming he was the rightful heir to the French crown.The French and Burgundians, meanwhile, put together a massive army, intent on crushing the upstart English king once and for all. By most accounts, the army opposing Henry was three to four times the size of sick, depleted English force. The armies met near the town of Agincourt, on a muddy field saturated by rain the night before. The mud bogged down French men-at-arms and cavalry in heavy armor, while the English longbowmen wreaked havoc upon the initial waves. As the body count mounted, the French struggled to get past the wall of corpses, and were defeated in detail. The result was one of those most one-sided and unlikely victories in the history of warfare.The battle took place on the feast day for the saints Crispian and Crispianan, coincidentally the patron saints of Soissons whose aforementioned destruction at the hands of French and English turncoats instigated the campaign. This leads to the only thing I really didn't like about the book -- those two saints would actually "speak" to Hook, saving his life on multiple occasions. I'm not really a fan of incorporating supernatural nonsense into historical novels, so this is a pet peeve more than anything else. Cornwell used a variety of resources for his historical background material, the most important was the book Agincourt by Juliet Barker, a book I read a few years ago and highly recommend.

    Loved this book. It deals with a period of history that fascinates me, and surely any other red blooded Englishman? The victory of victories against the old enemy. A triumph against all the odds.
    The book has a simple and easily followed plot. It's storytelling at it's best. The brutality of war is there for all to read about, but so is the heroism, sacrifice, chivalry and honour. One of my favourite novels by this author.

    Cornwell turns to the now legendary Battle of Agincourt as inspiration and foundation for his novel Azincourt, using the archer, Nick Hook (an actual historical archer who was at Agincourt) as the vehicle for this story. The story itself attempts to illuminate the actual events that led to King Henry V's resounding victory over the French, using a fictional backdrop of Hook's family feud, a damsel in distress, and the guidance of Saints Crispin and Cripinian (who speak to Hook) as the plot arc. On a personal level, I wanted very much to enjoy this story. The subject matter is one I've researched extensively and have found of fascination for decades. I'm afraid, however, my enjoyment was overshadowed by Cornwell's heavy hand illustrating gore, and several technical inaccuracies which, for the average reader, wouldn't be an issue, but for me twanged in the way of a badly-tuned instrument. An entertaining read, but not a memorable one.
