The Battle of Hastings, 1066 and all that, was responsible for an awful lot of anti-French (or at least anti-Norman) sentiment long before Agincourt.

Depends on how you look at it & who you regard as a Briton - or typical Frenchman for that matter. The Normans were responsible for much of what we regard as traditionally English today.

Then of course, was the mingling before the mingling, to say nothing of thereafter.
