I am now a "brother"! :'D
Through much effort and much gore, I can claim myself a "brother". To whom? None other than the magestic King Henry of course! He flew into the battlefield like a unicorn with an angel on it's back...er, I mean, a blood covered G-d of wrath. Either way, it was a once in a lifetime scene. Mmmm...I can just imagine Henry with me, the two of us living happily together and bonding.....uhhh, in a manly way of course! We would ride into sunsets as we discuss the eventful day we both shed our blood for our country. It pleases me that I am one of the few to be called "brother". Oh King Henry, I respect you now more than ever.
I am bleeding from many body crevices...
Hello, and goodbye to anyone who may find this... Im writing this memo to tell you that I do not regret anything i have done... I have fought along side many great men today and it is an honor to die here today... Henry i would like to thank you, you have motivated me in many ways, to stay strong when you must and be courageous... I'am not deterred by the thought of death or pain... Tell my family... Tell my family... I hate them... -Jasper
Remember Me Henry...
I'm dying. I can feel the life slipping away from my body. Still, I feel the need to write my last thoughts in this blog site in this convenient laptop located inches away from me. As I was saying, the battlefield is a gruesome site. There are bodies everywhere. Puddles are now replaced with what seem like bloody ponds. Ah, I'm slipping away....I wonder, who will visit me in heaven? Have I done a fair enough job as a soldier? Will King Henry still claim me a "brother" although I have fallen?

Victory Is Ours!
We have won! Although I don't mean to boast but after all the worrying, it feels great. I think I had even motivated myself during the St. Crispins Day speech a bit! However, I need to keep in mind that the French are now under my wing and so, I can not demean them. Therefore I have politely told my surviving men not to gloat around nor to the people of France. Anyway, as I look around I feel as though we have not won. These empty bodies, lying dirty in a sleep-like essence. They did not win anything but death, still they fought valiantly. For that, they have won respect and honor in my heart. As for the rest of my newfound "brothers", we are heading home....sweet home.

Exeter's Journal Before Agincourt
Entry 1:
We all sleep in the cold tonight for tommorrow is the battle. It is strangely quiet. Many of us participated in the drinking of wine around the fire, we dont want Henry to know, but most of us are nervous.
Entry 2:
Sleep does not come easily to any of us. A strange man in a cloak visited us, he seemed vaguely familiar, there was just something about him...
Entry 3:
The man in the cloak talked to us about Henry and what we thought about him, one of the other soldiers started a quarrell with the man in the cloak, but i think its silly because the battle is almost upon us.
Entry 4:
After the man with the cloak left, the camp started to settle down. The quiet seems peacefull now, and i believe we are ready. Tensions run high, as the battle is approaching.
Entry 5:
The battle is upon us we begin to go over battle plans and ready ourselves. We line up and have our words with eachother, as we know they may be our last.
Entry 6:
Henry speaks to us from his heart, we are ready. We will fight with honor and valor! We will survive, and be proud of the wounds we got on this great day!
Even a King Has His Moments...
As I sit here before the battle tomorrow at Agincourt, I am full of nerves that won't shake away from me. I'm very envious of my men, who can sleep freely without worries. I wonder how I can encourage these brave men into a battle they may not make it through when even I am still apprehensive. Will I be able to get a second of sleep tonight? Probably not. Even so, this gives me time to prepare myself for tomorow. Now that I think about it, I feel a brotherly bond between these soldiers as I imagine them on the battlefield with me. Hmmm.... maybe I can use that as motivation tomorrow.
