Know Ye Not Agincourt? is a historical novel by Leslie Barringer, first published by Nelson in 1936.
Plot
[edit]The novel is set in fifteenth century England and France. It concerns the adventures of an English squire and his friends, their taking part in the month-long Siege of Harfleur and the Battle of Agincourt, and its bitter consequences for all of them. It ends with a brief and unknowing meeting with the young Joan of Arc.
Although written for younger readers, it exhibits some of the high literary quality of the Neustrian trilogy.
