Interesting point about Agincourt - it is where the two finger salute supposedly originated.  A commonly repeated legend claims that the two-fingered salute or V sign derives from a gesture made by  the English archers fighting against the French. This origin legend states that English archers believed that those who were captured by the French had their two fingers cut off  so that they could no longer operate their longbows, and that the V sign was used by uncaptured and victorious archers in a display of defiance against the French.

So if a Frenchman tells you

Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough
   wiper!  Ah fart in your general direction!  Your mother was a hamster, and
   your father smelt of elderberries! (courtesy of Monty Python)

I think this bloke was one of the original archers
