Sir Ranulph Fiennes gave a talk on Agincourt this week, to coincide with the 600th anniversary of the 1415 battle. From the days of William the Conqueror to nearly 400 years later, there was a member of the Fiennes family at the elbow of those who led the English and French armies. Here he is talking to us about his ancestors and how reading all their letters had inspired him to write his book, Agincourt.
