I only stumbled on them myself on Saturday morning and have recorded a few.The Agincourt documentary was very interesting as it followed 19th Century evidence found in Keswick museum.The evidence was part of a survey of the area following the Allied occupation of France after Napoleon's abdication and revealed that no actual evidence places the battlefield on the present site, but pointed to a mound near the site which they were not allowed to survey and to the site of a castle that was visible from the battlefield mentioned in the battle account. They found the said castle site and that of a church dating from before the village of Agincourt (buildings dating from early 19th Century).But the main evidence pointed to the battle site being 1.5 miles South east of the present position.

The Medieval Dead series returns to the Yesterday channel today covering Agincourt and Aljubarrota at 11am and 5pm respectively.
The series continues tomorrow adding the Skeleton at Lewes....possibly a man that fought at Hastings.
