| Cats at Agincourt |
If you know English history, you know that the 1415 Battle of Agincourt was one of England’s great moments, with the valiant King Henry V leading England’s army to victory over the French. One legend (or maybe fact) related to the famous battle has it that the English army carried cats to protect their supplies from rodents.
The French had no such protection, and the night before the battle, rats gnawed the bowstrings of the French archers, so the French had no arrow power at the battle.
