    Is this the moment before they were skewered by long bow arrows?

      Funny enough, the longbow didn’t stop the French charge at Agincourt. The French actually made contact with the main body of the English infantry, and engaged in a prolonged melee. It was just that after the exhaustion of the charge, and the longbowmen emptying the rest of their arrows into the French flank before picking up their mallets, the French knights were worn down enough to be captured or repelled.
