another book
Try reading "Raising the Dead: The Skeleton Crew of King Henry VIII's Great Ship the Mary Rose" - all notions need to be challenged indeed. I am afraid I don't know of any books on dysentery at Agincourt. I have always assumed that references to "dysentery" probably (if improperly) include diarrhea of a less debilitating form than shigellosis or amoebic dysentery. Another good read, thinking about it, is Rats Lice and History by Zinssner (or is it Zinsser? - my copy is packed away) - lots about disease and battles
happy new year
