Happy St. Crispin's Day!

A little trivia for you. Today commemorates the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.

“He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’ ” Henry V, Act 4

And for TWO of my very favorite YouTube videos from one of my favorite plays of Shakespeare and one of my favorite Branagh movies:
