The Battle of Agincourt is well documented by at least seven contemporary accounts, three from eyewitnesses.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}} The general location of the battle is not disputed and the site remains relatively unaltered after 600 years. A paucity of archeological evidence, though, has led to a debate as to the exact location of the battlefield.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Histories |first=Medieval |date=28 June 2023 |title=Where did the Battle of Agincourt take place? |url=https://www.medieval.eu/where-did-the-battle-of-agincourt-take-place/ |access-date=20 January 2024 |website=Medieval Histories |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Immediately after the battle, Henry summoned the [[herald]]s of the two armies who had watched the battle together with principal French herald Montjoie, and they settled on the name of the battle as ''Azincourt'', after the nearest fortified place.{{sfn|Keegan|1976|p=86}} Two of the most frequently cited accounts come from [[Kingdom of Burgundy|Burgundian]] sources, one from [[Jean Le Fèvre de Saint-Remy]] who was present at the battle, and the other from [[Enguerrand de Monstrelet]]. The English eyewitness account comes from the anonymous author of the  ''[[Gesta Henrici Quinti]]'', believed to have been written by a [[chaplain]] in the King's household who would have been in the [[Wagon train|baggage train]] at the battle.{{sfn|Curry|2000|pp=22–26}} A recent re-appraisal of Henry's strategy of the Agincourt campaign incorporates these three accounts and argues that war was seen as a legal [[due process]] for solving the disagreement over claims to the French throne.{{Sfn|Honig|2012|pages=123–151}}
