The defeat at Agincourt in 1415 left deep wounds in the French psyche. Two runaway youths, Rogé and Clod, find themselves in the middle of the battle and experience the horrors of the disaster. They escape to spend their lives feeling the shame and guilt for the defeat. Yet, life must go on, and it takes them years to come to terms with the disgrace of being on the front line of history.
The story really begins when Rogé finds a crossbow after a skirmish and he and Clod join mercenaries who are in the service of the French. It comes to a battle near Agincourt, resulting in a ignoble defeat. Rogé and Clod flee, trying to find safety in the south, but always remembering the humiliation.
