Agincourt 1415
The boats that transported King Henry V's army to France took 1-2 weeks to cross the English Channel, arriving at Harfleur. Once there, a disease called the flux struck both the British army and residents, causing fever, diarrhea, and intestinal bleeding. Many died, though the siege of Harfleur continued. While the video showed horses stopping due to arrows, they actually stopped upon noticing stakes placed in the ground by the French. The French celebrated before the battle, expecting an easy victory due to their vast numbers, but their huge army could not fit on the field and was clumsy, allowing the smaller British force to defeat them.

Castle boyrtzi
- 1. A small island in front of the port of Nafplio completely covered by an old Venetian castle, to which it has its name. It was originally named by the sailors of Saint Theodore. During the first Venetian domination (1389 - 1540) and specifically in 1473, after Mahmut Pasha's departure, the Venetians fortified it with a tower, where they set firearms. It was then called Castelli or Bourtzi and later Passage - Pass CASTLE BOYRTZI
- 2. The first fortification - in 1473 - was made by the Venetian Predictor Pasqualigo, who assigned the work to architect Antonio Gambello. The Turks returned in 1540. Morozin again occupied Bourtzi in 1686 and overthrew the Turkish guard. From Bourtzi to the opposite jetty there was a chain that closed the port at night. Because of this it was called Anapli Porto Katena, or "Port of Alysos", during the years of the Great Republic
