34 Ancestors Slain at Battle of Agincourt – 25 October 1415










John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, in habit as a knight of the Garter. Behind him a Talbot hound, his heraldic badge. (British Library, Royal 15 E VI f. 2v). Detail of illuminated miniature from the Talbot Shrewsbury Book showing John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, KG, with his dog, presenting the book to Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England, 1445. His robe displays several encircled Garters.

Henry V Lancaster, King of England (1387 – 1422) ‘s crushing defeat of the Valois army at the Battle of Agincourt resulted in the extinction of quite nearly an entire generation of French knighthood. It also brought about the end of French chivalry, at least as it pertained to battlefield standards as first put into practice during the 9th century with the enactment of the Edict of Pistre by Charles the Bald (823 – 877), Charlemagne‘s grandson. It can be said the flower of French chivalry forever perished that day while hopelessly mired in the mud under the murderous rain of English longbow arrows.

Ironically, thirteen years later a peasant from Domrémy-la-Pucelle, Joan of Arc, led Gilles Rais (1405 – 1440), Marshal of France and his army to a string of French victories, starting with the Siege of Orléans started to crush the Angevin empire‘s will to pursue its claim on the French throne during the ensuing 25 years after Joan’s martyrdom in 1429. The 100 Years War that English King Edward III  (1312 – 1377) kicked off during his reign effectively ended in 1453 with the Valois victory at the Battle of Castillon over English commander John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury (1387 – 1453). Both Shrewsbury and his son perished during the battle.

The French victory at the Battle of Castillon marks the first “modern” employment of battlefield artillery, a rather fashionable adaptation of military strategy that effectively countered the English longbow strategy less than 40 years after the debacle the French suffered at Agincourt.

The Patricians, A Genealogical Study – Ebook Editions US$5.95

Author at Harrod’s Deli – London

Steven Wood Collins (1952 – ) Antiquarian, Genealogist, Novelist

By Steven Wood Collins

I spent most of my life unaware of my ancestral heritage. Sure, I knew of the personal history of my more immediate relatives; but beyond that, I never had any inkling as to my ancestral heritage. Then one day many years ago my sister said to me, “I sometimes wonder about our family background.” And so my quest to discover our genealogical roots commenced.

I started building my family tree with the very basic relationships, going back in time from my grandparents, one ancestor at a time. That initial effort proved to be the hardest part of the pursuit, mainly due to my lack of expertise as a novice genealogical researcher. As I gained familiarity with the databases and how to efficiently mine them, my progress gained ever-increasing momentum. Today, The Patricians! tree (Ancestry.com) contains nearly 120,000 individuals, stretching over 135 generations, 5,800 of which are my direct ancestors in a genealogical sense.

During this trek back in time, I encountered fascinating figures in both history and obscurity. This blog contains many stories about their genealogical relationship to me (and many of you). By far and away, as a student of history, the historically obscure individuals are of particular interest to me. I cite Baron “Blue Beard” Montmorency-Laval de Rais (1405 – 1440) as an example of a historically maligned personage whose real contribution to history, as both a playwright and hero of France, has yet to be properly recognized. Another example is Earl Edward de Vere (1550 – 1604), who’s yet to gain widespread recognition as the actual author of the body of literary work wrongly ascribed to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616).

My life-long interest in international economics and finance continues unabated. I primarily demonstrate this professional involvement as a contributor to the Long Room, the members-only international finance professionals' forum hosted by the Financial Times of London.

I'm an avid recreational scuba diver who enjoys traveling to exotic dive sites. My love of the sea and marine life gives me an unbounded appreciation and support of “green” issues, especially those devoted to the conservation of endangered species and coral reefs.
