Video Title :	Henry V, Kenneth Branagh,Agincourt 2a, "For I am Welsh..."
Description :	Henry V, Kenneth Branagh,Agincourt "For I am Welsh..." FLUELLEN Your grandfather of famous memory, an't please your majesty, and your great-uncle Edward the Plack Prince of Wales, as I have read in the chronicles,fought a most prave pattle here in France. KING HENRY V They did, Fluellen. FLUELLEN Your majesty says very true: if your majesties is remembered of it, the Welshmen did good service in a garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps; which, your majesty know, to this hour is an honourable badge of the service; and I do believe your majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek upon Saint Tavy's day. KING HENRY V I wear it for a memorable honour; For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman. FLUELLEN All the water in Wye cannot wash your majesty's Welsh plood out of your pody, I can tell you that: God pless it and preserve it, as long as it pleases his grace, and his majesty too! KING HENRY V Thanks, good my countryman. FLUELLEN By Jeshu, I am your majesty's countryman, I care not who know it; I will confess it to all the 'orld: I need not to be ashamed of your majesty, praised be God, so long as your majesty is an honest man. ... Battle: As the battle was fought on a recently ploughed field, and there had recently been heavy rain leaving it very muddy, it proved very tiring to walk through in full plate armour. The deep, soft mud particularly favoured the English force because, once knocked to the ground, the heavily armoured French knights struggled to get back up to fight in the melee. Barker (2005) states that several knights, encumbered by their armour, actually drowned in it. Their limited mobility made them easy targets for the volleys from the English archers. The mud also increased the ability of the much more lightly armoured English archers to join in hand-to-hand fighting against the heavily armed French men-at-arms.

Well, they didn't have the convenience of living on an Island, unlike you arrogant English.

A leek for you. For we are Welsh.

Remake this film please

I fear that it shall be a great many years before a Shakespearean film utilizing actual at minimum quasi Shakespearean actors. Enjoy what has been left for you. It may well be another generation before an honest effort is made.

Exhausting bollocks. What men do. What actors do! Save us all.

Egad! The French killed Christian Bale! :D

Ah...the comments..full of the asinine idea that the Welsh are English. The Welsh are a lot of things, but one thing we are not is Anglo, Saxon or Jute. We are Celts. And will ever be thus...if the English don't keep buying up Wales!

we have always been few, but we stand ,unlike the french who at the first sound of a gun up goes the white flag, ha ha ha god bless england .tell me again where were the french in world war 2 ?

St: Crispin's on Saturday... (25 October)
