Know Ye Not Agincourt? is a historical novel by Leslie Barringer, first published by Nelson in 1936.[1] Kathleen Mathers, writing in The Province, characterized the novel as an "adventure tale".[2]

Plot

The novel is set in fifteenth century England and France. It concerns the adventures of an English squire and his friends, their taking part in the month-long Siege of Harfleur and the Battle of Agincourt, and its bitter consequences for all of them. It ends with a brief and unknowing meeting with the young Joan of Arc.

Although written for younger readers, it exhibits some of the high literary quality of the Neustrian trilogy.
