Gillet of Azincourt is about the bond that develops between two men, a young French nobleman and an older commoner, the life lessons they teach each other and the coming together of vastly different classes in a struggle against a common foe. The story is set against the Battle of Azincourt, a famous encounter during the Hundred Years War between France and England. Gillet Charron (grandfather of Pierre Charron from ‘Agnes of Meaux’), Robert of Bar, Count of Marle and Soissons (father of Countess Jeanne de Bar from ‘Agnes of Meaux’) and Henry V, King of England, traverse circumstances and conflicts until their final meeting on the field of battle at Azincourt France on St Crispins Day in 1415 CE.
