The thing is, the way the battle at the end was accurate, if u read anything about the battle of agincourt then u'll find tht the english were climbing over ded french knights in order to kill more, the french lost over 10 thousand men and the english only took 250 ded and twice as many wounded. and the french did come in 3 waves only the 3'rd wave didn't fite cus they ran off and the way the english faught them off was how i described it aswell, they fired all their arrows then charged with swords and maces and spears, collected as many arrows as possible and went bk to their defences.. after the second french wave attacked the knights came led by king henry and routed the french, simple as tht. So, i'm srry if u think i'm biased, but its the way all articles and books on the battle say so....

Stories usually tend to be biased towards main or imaginary characters

Oh i get ya, u've got to be biased towards ur character in war stories, otherwise they're just like the rest of the characters in the background of the story, even Bernard Cornwell was biased beyond belief in the way he rote about Richard Sharpe in his books.
