Although the ''Oriflamme'' has often been depicted as present at the battle of Agincourt, modern historians have disputed this. The banner was given to Guillaume de Martel by [[Charles VI of France|Charles VI]] on September 10, 1415, and carried by Martel from Paris to Rouen. <ref>Barker (2005)</ref> This was likely an attempt to raise French morale and rally troops, however there is no evidence that the ''Oriflamme'' was then taken on campaign and unfurled at Agincourt.<ref>Curry, Anne. The Battle of Agincourt: Sources and Interpretations (2000) p.353</ref> Modern historians agree that the Oriflamme was not carried by Martel at Agincourt, as the king was not present at the battle in person.<ref>Strickland, Matthew, in Curry, A.
