Henry V Gathers Army for Agincourt

undefined

Henry V assembled his army and fleet at Portchester and the surrounding area before sailing for France and the Battle of Agincourt. The castle served as one of the main mustering points, and the harbour was filled with ships. Troops camped in the outer bailey and the fields around the fort. Henry is believed to have stayed in the castle before embarking. This was one of the most significant military events associated with Portchester and a moment of national importance.
