Saint Crispin's Day falls on 25 October and is the feast day of the Christian saints Crispin and Crispinian twins who were martyred c. 286. It is a day most famous for the battles that occurred on it: the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The Battle of Agincourt was dramatised by William Shakespeare in Henry V featuring the St. Crispin's Day Speech in which Henry inspired his much outnumbered English forces to fight the French saying "the fewer men, the greater share of honour".
