This speech given by Henry the V inspired his fellow soldiers to fight a battle that the world would never forget. While at first, the men seemed at unease to go into a battle where not only were they completely outnumbered, but fighting against the strong French army, Henry the V spoke of the greater honor. He spoke of this gift of honor and pride that this battle would give. That they would be taking on this battle with Henry, the king himself, as their brother. The inspiration of this speech carried through all of his men and they won this battle of Agincourt for England, which is still remembered today.
