stevesjem:
Yeah the Grail quest trilogy are a great read, I would suggest reading them before Agincourt as a reference is made to Thomas Hookton in the Agincourt book.
Critisism's: the use of the term "Fledgers" instead of "Fletchers" as arrow makers.
He also states that a crossbow can out range a warbow, which as we all know it can't.lol

Cromm:
Yeah there's always those small hic ups in a book that i say "that's not right" and then get a look from the wife.......
The Warlord books are top of my list for him.

And Warren Ellis "CRECY" comic book is a great read too,just don't let anyone under 15 years read it there's the big swear words in it.

Thanks for your time.

jonot05:
The viking series is by far my favourite, just read  it again for the 5th time

JBL:
What I found somewhat interesting thus far into the book (about 1/2 way) is the divesity he claims for the cross bow i.e. greater caste and ability to fight better in the woods.  I just take it for what it is and that is a very entertaining book.  He has become one of my favorite authors just behind Patrick O'Brien.

Loki:
I've read all and own all his book's except the Sharpe series,i cant get away with Richard Sharpe!
Agincourt or Azincourt as the UK book is called is a great yarn!!I would of liked more of King Henry but Sir John Cornwaile makes up for it,What a guy!!!  >:D

The Grail quest is a must for those Interested in WarBows,the second in the series is my favourite (Vagabond) the battle description at Nevilles Cross is engrossing!It;s like your there laughing at the Scots  >:D.
The Saxon series is probably my favourite,Uthreds from my part of the country (Bebbanburgh's just up the road) and i'm fascinated with Saxon Aengland's History.
Followed by the WarLord Trilogy,now thats what i believe Arthur was like! I certainly dont think of him as a Roman (spit on that King Arthur Movie! >:D).
