Synopsis: Was the technologically sophisticated longbow responsible for the landmark victory at Agincourt, or was it simply that the English are better in mud? When did Queen Elizabeth I learn that the Armada had capitulated - before or after she delivered one of history's most inspiring and self-serving speeches? Why did Wellington meet his Waterloo on his return to London? Acclaimed author and political reporter Colin Brown travels to the places where history was made to uncover the real story.
