Battle of Agincourt

You're right: it was at Crecy. Wikipiedia mentions the weather effects on the crossbow strings at Crecy, and not at Agincourt. It was just my imperfect memory digging out something that sounded familiar, and therefore right.

I am bumping this to pass along a URL which may be of interest to all you military history buffs:
www.deremilitari.org

This gives access to an extensive collection of primary and secondary sources on medieval and early modern warfare. The site contains the writings of the most respected military historians of the period. For example, check the what's new section for comments on Crecy by Kelly DeVries.

(Wikipedia is, of course, not reliable because any fool can write any nonsense and post it, and when someone knowledgeable does write an entry, any fool can come along and change it. At the moment the medieval historians are discussing whether and how to monitor wikipedia, since every time an expert removes some misconception about the Middle Ages, some dunce puts the erroneous material right back in.)
