View in Radio Times

France: The English Camp
Many Welsh soldiers followed Henry V to France and fought at Agincourt. David Gam, who had attended Glyndwr's Parliament at Machynlleth with the object of killing him, and had been for many years imprisoned by Glyndwr, was one of them. He it was who made the memorable reply to Henry V when returning from a survey of the great French army before the battle: "There are enough to kill, enough to take prisoners and enough to run away". He is said to have been knighted on the field while dying and to be, moreover, the original of Shakespeare's Fluellin.
