Azincourt (/ˈæzɪnkɔːr(t)/ AZ-in-kor(t) ; French pronunciation: [azɛ̃kuʁ]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.[3] It is situated 12 miles (19 kilometres) north-west of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise on the D71 road between Hesdin and Fruges. It is often erroneously known as Agincourt (/ˈædʒɪnkɔːr(t)/ AJ-in-kor(t)) in English, as the village had never been called as such throughout its history, however, there is a village that is named "Agincourt", located in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in Eastern France.
The Late Medieval Battle of Azincourt between the English and the French took place in the commune in 1415.
