French Clothing 1400s-1500s






Fashion in 15th century Europe is characterized by a series of extremes and extravagances, from the voluminous gowns called houppelandes with their sweeping floor-length sleeves to the revealing doublets. Hats, hoods, and other headdresses assumed increasing importance, and were swagged, draped, jeweled, and feathered.

The Battle of Argincourt

Soldier 1: In just two days we will have our victory. I pray to god, that we do.

Soldier 2: I am scared, i know that king Henry tries to motivate us but i know that we are outnumbered, I don't even know if we will win against a bigger army.

Soldier 3: I want to make proud of my country. I know we will have VICTORY Tomorrow!!!

Soldier 4: Its mid- night we are not tired due to tomorrows battle. We are AFRAID, GOD BE WITH US

Soldier 5: We are up now, everybody putting their armor on ready to fight

Soldier 6: The horns blow our sign that we are about to go into battle

Soldier 7: The battle is going well we are winning so far

Soldier 8: The battle has just ended we have won our VICTORY!!!!!

Soldier 9: OH MY GOD!!! The bagging boys have just been murdered. My king is filled with rage. I dare not bother him

Agincourt Battlefield, October 1415

French Armor






The French's armor was made heavy and strong, but when the French went to battle they didn't know of the conditions. The conditions where muddy because of all the rain. This was a great disadvantage to the french because the mud would get into their armor and make it very difficult for them to move around in.

Herald Montjoy

The French messengerfor the King . He in various occasions encountered with King Henry and in few situations did King Henry express his anger to him.

The French Royals

The Dukes of Berrie and Bertagne of Orleans along with the Dauphin the kings son. In comparison what these royals had in common were that they were blind to see the major issues of France. One being the desperate need of support from troops and  the issues caused confusion within France with the addition of the Kings illness. This gave King Henry an advantage to set another attack. The Dauphin underestimated King Henry which turned out to be unwise.

King Charles VI of France (1368-1422)

 King Charles a historical figure and former opponent of King Henry V from England. An interuption of his ruling came from the cause of his illness. Charles did not underestimate King Henry, unfortunatley his son the prince(The Dauphin) did. King Charles had lack of support and that led to the attack at Harfleur. France soon began to lose with the outcome of England conquering.
