Event

A decisive victory in the Hundred Years' War where a numerically-superior French army was defeated by the forces of King Henry V of England, including, notably, a sizable contingent of French nobility and valuable men-at-arms. France's defeat would majorly change the tempo of the war, tipping it back into England's favor for the following decade.
