The battle

The Dalek Emperor finds itself in the midst of the battle (COMIC: The Secret of the Emperor)

Using a time machine to launch an invasion of Earth in 2415, the Golden Emperor of the Daleks was accidentally deposited to this battle in 1415. Finding himself toppled by knights on horseback, the Emperor quickly readjusted his time machine and vanished, to the astonishment of the knights. (COMIC: The Secret of the Emperor)

The battle ended with an English victory, with the resultant battle described by Barbara as a "massacre". (PROSE: The Reign Makers)


Legacy

While expecting an assault on George Litefoot's house, Leela suggested they should "trap [the attackers] in the crossfire" and thought Litefoot would have "weapons in fixed positions to guard the approaches". The Fourth Doctor said he had brought her to the wrong time and believed she would have loved Agincourt. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
