Agincourt 600

The Battle of Agincourt that took place on the 25th of October 1415 was a fascinating but controversial battle. The 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt was commemorated in many different places and ways.

 

The Fletchers have been very active and supportive of commemorations for the 600th anniversary of the battle of Agincourt. Many City based events took place in the UK and France.

To close the Agincourt year, a dinner was held at Cutlers’ Hall in April 2016 in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent.  

 

The Fletchers arranged an essay writing competition which was entered by six schools.  The essay to be inspired by the title “Why has the Battle of Agincourt resonated through English and British history for the last 600 years and why does it have relevance today?”.  The winner of the competition attends the City of London Freemen’s School and was presented with an arrow and £100 for the school’s charity.
