Henry V was as French as the Normans were Norse

>>2129064
Right, the Normans were French

>>2129021
>When the oriflamme was raised in battle by the French royalty during the Middle Ages, most notably during the Hundred Years War, no prisoners were to be taken until it was lowered.

>until it was lowered

No quarter at the beginning is significantly different than no quarter at the end of a battle.

Brits claim both that Normans were Nords and that Henry V was English
Frogs claim both that Normans were French and that Henry V was French

It actually can't be both
Either Normans were French and Henry V was English, either Normans were Nords and Henry V was French

Oh well that's perfectly acceptable then.

>we're not going to take prisoners and will kill you all
>until it becomes convenient for us to not to
>it was just a joke! Everyone laugh at the funny joke!

One Brit in a stupid shirt thinks that the Normans in 1066 were literally vikings. Lindybollocks doesn't speak for the rest of us.

>>2129093
I thought the British had a sense of humor.

Henry V and England are the shame of Europe and Christianity.

The anglos are savages they can't understand the laws of war. It's nigger-tier behavior.

>>2129117

>laws of war
>loudly proclaim that you're not taking prisoners and will massacre your opponents
>until you start losing, then you change your mind and say taking prisoners is back on

>>2129113
That's the point of chivalry - the lives of nobles are spared and ransomed whilst those of peasant stock are slaughtered like animals.

Be Henry

>holy fuck our prisoners now outnumber us

You people do realize you are saying Henry should have trusted the French prisoners not to attack him with their superior numbers.

Butchering prisoners who have already surrendered is akin to treason and surely unchivalrous, and way worse than not taking any prisoners, which still allows the enemy to flee or die on the battlefield.

>Well shit all the nobles just surrendered

Actually most were captured while lying exhausted in the mud after their dumb charge

>>2129527
Bro my ancestors killed the best ancestors your country ever produced in the middle of the night on Christmas and even I know killing prisoners is greasy.

>>2129113

Judging ancient peoples by modern moral standards is the cardinal sin of the historian.

You do not understand what chivalry was.

>>2129220

This. The point was to allow the warrior aristocracy to do their thing without too many of them dying and fucking up the ruling class, which leads to upheaval, civil war, and chaos.
