St. Crispin's Day
St. Crispin's Day
This is also the day on which the French and English armies fought the battle of Agincourt in the middle period of the Hundred Years War (1415). The association between the feast day and the battle is so strong that writers sometimes use "St. Crispin's Day" as an expression meaning "a time of battle" or "a time to fight." This day is also called the Feast of Crispian, St. Crispian's Day, Crispin's Day, Crispin Crispian, and the Day of Crispin Crispianus .
