THE DAY OF- During the battle- French troops

    When it came time to go to battle we, the French were so determined that we were going to beat those Englishmen. We outnumbered them by a vast amount of soldiers and although conditions were harsh, we knew we had to win.
   When we went to fight we were shocked and appalled to see how many of our men were getting brutally slaughtered and defeated by the smaller English army. We figured it was due to the fact that the English weapons were far more superior then ours at the time.

    We were unhappy that we were losing so we decided to attack the bag boys. It was our only hope to a slight chance of victory. We knew it would make the English mentally distraught so we decided to attack them. Although it still did not lead to our victory, we still put in all our hope and our efforts into attempting to defeat the English. Unfortunately, the Queen of France was given to Henry V as well as the throne.

After the War

Following the War, Louis XI regained most of his power that had been lost to the French nobles during the Hundred Years War. Louis then seized most of his vast lands after the death of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The war cause the French to work at converting their country from a number of independent fiefdoms into a united, powerful country.

The Day Before- Workers

It is the day before the big battle between France and Britain, and all the workers were doing their best to make sure al the equipment is in top shape.  It would be horrible if the weapons of the French soldiers weren't in top shape.

Sharpen the broad sword, shine the armor, and make sure there are no imperfections in any little thing.  It's hard work, but someone has got to do it for the army.  I don't understand why the Englishmen don't just surrender.  It is obvious they are out matched in every possible way.  They have no chance of winning the battle, let alone the war.  How could their king even think for a minute that the French people would just let him waltz in and take the crown from their king? No, we cannot be bullied this way, and tomorrow it will be clear who is the stronger nation.

The Day Before- King Charles

I am fearful for tomorrow's battle.  Everyone of my subjects might not understand the power of Great Britain, but I do.  If everyone would take this war seriously, we have a better chance of winning.  As it is though, we are to cocky and arrogant.  Even though we outnumber the English, our over confidence could be out downfall.

We must expect the worst, but hope for the best, and that is something my followers do not understand.  They are to hotheaded, I just hope that it will not lead to the downfall of France.

The Day Before- Soldiers

All the soldiers are nervous, but determined not to show it.  To take their mind off it, they took turns insulting the English.. It was so easy, and made them feel better.

We know that we are going to win,  our commanders assured us.  There is nothing to worry about, we are sure to win.  It is obvious by looking at the size of the army.  We outnumber the Englishmen 6-1, if not more.  But still we are nervous.  How could we not be, when we were about to go to war?  Not many can sleep, and as the beginning of the day approaches, we start to line up across from our enemy's, insulting the them the whole time.  We are confident we will win, nothing can go wrong.

The Day Before- Dauphin

I am ready for battle, armor on and weapons ready.  I know that victory is assured, anybody could tell from just looking at both separate armies’.  The French, strong, united and ready to go into battle.  Against the English, who were in disarray and weak from marching and illness.   I can’t wait to get out there and show that punk Henry whose boss.  Who does he think he is, coming into MY kingdom, trying to take away MY rightful spot as King of France?  Its ridiculous to even thinks he stood a chance.  No matter, though, after this day the whole world will know of the superiority of France.

After the War- Henry's Cruelty

Henry V returned to the battlefield and ordered the killing of any wounded Frenchmen who had survived the night out in the open. All of the nobility had already been taken away. It is likely that any commoners left on the field were too badly injured to survive without medical care. The French suffered heavily, mainly because of the massacre of the prisoners.
