Google lead me to this story about the exhibition at the Tower of London.

link

"To commemorate the anniversary of Agincourt this special exhibition will tell the moving story of the build-up to the battle, the unfolding events of the day, the aftermath and legacy. The exhibition will bring together medieval arms, armour, art, music and manuscripts. Iconic objects on display include a portrait of Henry V from the National Gallery London, a manuscript of the Agincourt Carol from the Bodleian Library, the Lyle Bacinet and Warwick shaffron from the Royal Armouries, a plaque of the Arms of the Dauphin Louis from the Louvre, and the surcoat that Richard Burton wore as Henry V from the Victoria & Albert Museum.

At the centre of the exhibition will be a beautifully detailed scale model of the battlefield featuring over 4,000 painted scale model figures, accompanied by an overhead shower of arrows signifying the 7,500 English archers. This extraordinary exhibit will give visitors the opportunity to witness the tumult and chaos of the battle itself at a crucial moment in its development.

A lively programme of events will accompany the exhibition from 24 October to 1 November, including talks, skill-art-arms demonstrations and activities for all the family. Visitors will be able to experience for themselves what it would have been like to stand amongst knights, soldiers and archers, preparing for battle and to hear the stories of the prisoners who were kept at the Tower."

And this picture from the exhibition designers.

Looks darned cool- I would love to visit that.

Why does everyone in that rendering have backpacks? It seems a strange inclusion.

Perhaps the artist had just struggled in on the Tube where inconsiderate backpackers had kept bumping him with theirs because they couldn't be bothered to remove them whilst in a crowded space?

And yes that is one of the many things that irritate me about behaviour on the Underground….

Cool. Very good choice of miniatures.

A couple of details bug me a little: the vertical arrows in the ground that the cavalry is passing over, and the single line of stakes: there would actually be a "hedge" of stakes planted in a staggered or "checkered" formation. Each archer drove in his stake, then they retreated behind them. And on a little longer inspection, there is zip cavalry body armor, not even a peytral. The horse was the most exposed, but only relatively. Even as early as Agincourt there was an effort to protect the horses….
