Guy Aylmer, the son of an English knight, accompanies his lord to Villeroy, his castle in France, during the time of the struggle for supremacy between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy. When Orleanist forces attack Villeroy, Guy takes part in its defense, and when Burgundy, in the name of the mad King Louis, requests that Lady Margaret and the children come to Paris as hostages, Guy is sent with them as their protector. When the butchers of Paris attack their house, Guy successfully defends his charges, and afterwards conducts them to a safe hiding place. After many other adventures, Guy returns to France with King Henry, and fights in the battle of Agincourt, returning home at last to an estate awarded to him for his service to the king.

With 36 pages of additional articles, references, and bibliographies of recommended reading. Agincourt is the quintessential English battle. Outnumbered English forces meet the French on the battlefield, and through courage, tenacity, (and a wicked Welsh weapon called a longbow), they win the day. While Henry V was triumphant, and was immortalized by Shakespeare for his victory, his gains were later squandered by his son, Henry VI, so ultimately not much was accomplished. In this Henty book, Guy Aylmer is an English squire and the son of a knight. He travels to Villeroy, in France, where his lord has a castle, but is swept up in it's defense when it is attacked by Orleanist forces. He winds-up as a prisoner in Paris where he and his charges are assaulted by the White Hoods-the butchers of Paris. After several adventures and escapes he later returns to France with King Henry V and fights in the Battle of Agincourt.

The long and bloody feud between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy-which for many years devastated France, caused prodigious destruction of life and property, and was not even relaxed in the presence of a common enemy-is very fully recorded in the pages of Monstrellet and other contemporary historians. I have here only attempted to relate the events of the early portion of the struggle-from its commencement up to the astonishing victory of Agincourt, won by a handful of Englishmen over the chivalry of France. Here the two factions, with the exception of the Duke of Burgundy himself, laid aside their differences for the moment, only to renew them while France still lay prostrate at the feet of the English conqueror.At this distance of time, even with all the records at one's disposal, it is difficult to say which party was most to blame in this disastrous civil war, a war that did more to cripple the power of France than was ever accomplished by English arms. Unquestionably Burgundy was the first to enter upon the struggle, but the terrible vengeance is taken by the Armagnacs, -as the Orleanists came to be called, -for the murders committed by the mob of Paris in alliance with him, was of almost unexampled atrocity in the civil war, and was mainly responsible for the terrible acts of cruelty afterward perpetrated upon each other by both parties.

Excerpt from At Agincourt: A Tale of the White Hoods of Paris The long and bloody feud between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy - which for many years devastated France, caused a prodigious destruction Of life and property, and was not even relaxed in the presence of a common enemy - is very fully recorded in the pages of Monstrellet and other contem porary historians. I have here only attempted to relate the events of the early portion Of the struggle - from its commence ment up to the astonishing victory of Agincourt, won by a handful of Englishmen over the chivalry of France. Here the two factions, with the exception of the Duke of Bur gundy himself, laid aside their differences for the moment, only to renew them while France still lay prostrate at the feet of the English conqueror. At this distance Of time, even with all the records at one's disposal, it is difficult to say which party was most to blame in this disastrous civil war, a war which did more to cripple the power of France than was ever accomplished by Eng lish arms. Unquestionably 3urgundy was the first to enter upon the struggle, but the terrible vengeance taken by the Armagnacs, - as the Orleanists came to he called, - for the murders committed by the mob of Paris in alliance with him.
