The Story of the Battle of Agincourt | 1415

I saw him as a bowman telling the story of Agincourt at Warwick Castle in 2000 and 2001. He was and still is terrific.

I'm convinced Kevin is immortal and is so good at telling these stories because he was at these battles himself, especially when he tells these stories from a first person perspective

This man is a national treasure, all of the the history over the years this man has taught and also kept English history and culture alive. Someone get this man a Knighthood!

Well done Kevin! When I was 11, living in Birmingham, this would have fired my imagination and sent me to battle to the death with my mates and wooden swords in the woods across the road. You’ve taken me back to that magical time - Thank you.

I was motorbiking at Agincourt about 1987 and there was a cafe at the crossroads run by an English chap...he had a longbow range in the back of the cafe, and I was delighted to shoot a cloth yard, bodkin point, with a yew bow at Agincourt! Great narrative, thank you

This man is an amazing storyteller. I felt like I was there.

I was actually moved by your delivery of that speech from Henry V. Bravo!! That was better than any actor's attempt. Honestly.

Incredible cardiovascular fitness they must have had. All of them. Both sides. 2 hours of actual fighting to death, with insane adrenalin levels, fear, stress and kilos of metal on your body... I once did boxing sparring. After round 7 i felt like vomiting out my heart, lungs, kidneys and my soul. 😰😰😰

As an amateur bow maker, the amount of information I get from this guy is amazing. When it comes to history of this kind he tells it so well that no matter what your age you feel like your there. Even if he is shooting the bow you can feel it. They truly are amazing things. Thank you Sir.

That whole video was thespian brilliance. I felt as though I was indeed hearing a man who had been there on his own two feet. I'm a sucker for great storytelling, and that was just over the top. I'd give anything to see that live on stage.

This is probably the most common compliment made toward this gentleman, but i just can't think of something more appropriate: The only reason i didn't find myself in love with studying history earlier, when i was a little kid, is because nobody taught it with this enthusiasm and love. Only later on, when i found teachers with a similar passion i realized how fascinating it could be to learn of our past. Nothing is better than teaching with passion, instead of just being the sort of teacher that enters class, tells everyone to "read from page A to B in silence" and nothing else...especially when you are 10 years of age. Props to your talent and a lot of respect.

A fabulous bit of storytelling Kevin.

One could close the eyes and it’ll sound like you’re in a pub, way back when, telling us around the table this very same story. You bring it to life. Outstanding! Cheers!

Brilliant outfit. Even rosary beads. Very authentic looking. This man has empathy for the period and the people. And he even pronounces Agincourt properly.

Ive heard the story many times, it has never seemed so real and alive to me before. Thank you Kevin! That was a powerful and moving video. My family history records that I've been reading through show some Welsh soldiers who I'm descended from were present at Agicourt. I feel honored to have an event my family participated in so memorialized.

It is said that when the French Knights bodies were recovered from the battlefield some didn't even have a single wound upon them, they simply drowned in the mud. Weighed down by their armor and crushed by the weigh of their own numbers. An amazing tale.

I am stuck on the Stage door at work, covering someone who is off sick. So I am watching this again. Kev tells this story so well and with so much enthusiasm that you think you're there at Agincourt!! Kev being a Master Bowman, dressed in his Archer gear only adds to the story. It's like he's just come from the field of battle at Agincourt and is telling what happened that day!! Simply superb!! Dave.

My son and I were at Warwick castle many years ago where we listened to Kevin tell this story. That day stayed with both of us as one of the best father/son days ever. Thanks kevin

Terrific! Enjoyed the quoting of Shakespeare at the end! The Battle of Agincourt was truly a loss for the French. It's famous for a reason, and you've recounted it well. :)

I had just started shooting a warbow and was very lucky to see and speak to Kevin Hicks at Warwick castle. With his help and encouragement, I never looked back. Thanks Kevin!!!
