The Duke of Brabant arrived late to the Battle of Agincourt, and in his eagerness to reach the field, he dressed in improvised armour and wore a surcoat made from a trumpeter's flag. He fought valiantly but was captured. He was killed at the massacre of the prisoners ordered by Henry V, the English being unaware of his high status and ransom value.
