The Agincourt King by Mercedes Rochelle

The Plantagenet Legacy Book 5

Multi-volume, multi-genre author, Mercedes Rochelle introduces us to the fifth volume in “The Plantagenet Legacy” series, “The Agincourt King”:
From the day he was crowned, Henry V was determined to prove the legitimacy of his house. His father's usurpation weighed heavily on his mind. Only a grand gesture would capture the respect of his own countrymen and the rest of Europe. He would follow in his great-grandfather Edward III's footsteps, and recover lost territory in France. Better yet, why not go for the crown? Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn't manage his own barons. The civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs was more of a threat to his country than the English, even after Henry laid siege to Harfleur. But once Harfleur had fallen, the French came to their senses and determined to block his path to Calais and destroy him. By the time the English reached Agincourt, they were starving, exhausted, and easy pickings. Or so the French thought. Little did they reckon on Henry's leadership and the stout-hearted English archers who proved, once again, that numbers didn't matter when God was on their side.

What a fabulous retelling of history! Mercedes has made me love historical fiction so much that it is my 3rd favorite genre, right after science fiction and fantasy.
She brings to life those pivotal events from long ago with richly detailed stories!
If you like biographies or history, her books give you the best of both worlds! Do yourself a favor and read all of her books!
