Commune in Hauts-de-France, France

Azincourt
Azincourt ( AZ-in-kor(t) ; French pronunciation: [azɛ̃kuʁ]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It is situated 12 miles (19 kilometres) north-west of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise on the D71 road between Hesdin and Fruges. The Late Medieval Battle of Agincourt between the English and the French took place in the commune in 1415. Toponym. The name is attested as Aisincurt in 1175, derived from a Germanic masculine name Aizo, Aizino and the early Northern French word curt (which meant a farm with a courtyard; derived from the Late Latin cortem). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azincourt
