On this day:

AD 1415, An English army under Henry V defeats the French at Agincourt, France. The French had out numbered Henry's troops 60,000 to 12,000 but British longbows turned the tide of the battle. Catholic Kings battling each other whilst the jihad was still advancing. May God forgive them!

AD 1760, George III of England crowned. A secret friend to Catholics, George was hated by the American heretic Colonists (See on this day, le 23 octobre) more for this than for being King. He was simply trying to restore the antient constitution of the pro-Catholic and Catholic Stuarts.
