Brian Blessed as Falstaff or no one.
Watched it. Got bored halfway and skipped to the end. I have seen fights between my cats that were more epic.
He was the Earl of Essex, if you're talking about the movie.
Great flick. I quite liked the reinvention of Falstaff.
Great book:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-Falstaff-Fastolf-Hundred-Years-ebook/dp/B008O8HXNM/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Sir+John+Fastolf&qid=1573488190&s=books&sr=1-2
"This litttle village of Agincourt..." spoken in a carricature french accent more suitable for 'Allo 'Allo.The duel between Henry and Hotspur was great, I loved that it wasnt epic and felt more realistic. The battle of Agincourt was well done too.
Thanks for that link, Andrew.One thing in it struck my interest: "Recent research dismisses as well wide of the mark Shakespeare’s claims that Henry’s “happy few” defeated a French army that outnumbered his men by five to one. The figures were most likely 12,000 French to as many as 9,000 English, they say."?? Can't say I haven't read all of the recent literature, but I have read some and I haven't seen any that put the forces this close together in numbers. Anyone have some insight on this argument?
