Agincourt is a name which conjures an image of plucky English archers taking on and defeating the arrogant and aristocratic knights of the French court. But was it really the David and Goliath struggle often depicted on stage and screen? In this episode of the podcast, Dan is joined by Mike Loades to challenge some of the popular myths that surround the battle. Just how outnumbered were the English really?

Gracias al cine y la literatura fantástica miles de personas en todo el mundo están familiarizadas con el tiro con arco. Todos hemos vibrado leyendo sobre Guillermo Tell, Robin Hood, Ojo de Halcón, Legolas…Pero debemos ser cuidadosos y no dejarnos llevar por primeras impresiones, por espectaculares que sean. En efecto, el tiro con arco es un arte complejo que requiere de mucha práctica y constancia. Lo que a ojos de alguien sin mucha relación con el tiro puede parecer aburrido y anodino (como acertar a una diana a 80 metros con un arco tradicional japonés, por ejemplo) es en realidad una proeza digna de elogio. Gracias a Ismael Hernández Rueda, miembro de la SIAH y divulgador con el perfil “Arquero Histórico” en redes sociales, conoceremos como era la arquería en la Edad Media europea y romperemos con varios mitos sobre esta arma.
