Lord Rambures

Lord Rambures is a French nobleman shown among the leaders of the French forces near Agincourt. His appearances place him within the company of senior commanders, while his question about the Constable of France’s armor gives him a brief, observant presence amid the play’s preparations for battle.

Identity and Introduction

Lord Rambures enters the French camp near Agincourt with the Constable of France, the Duke of Orleans, the Dauphin, and others. The scene locates him among the French leadership on the eve of battle, though it does not provide a personal history or describe his rank beyond identifying him as a lord.

The Armor in the Tent

That night, Lord Rambures addresses the Constable of France about the armor he has seen in the Constable’s tent. He asks whether the stars or suns displayed on it are stars or suns, drawing attention to the armor’s ornamentation. The brief exchange makes him an observer of the Constable’s martial display and gives the scene a moment of curiosity before the fighting begins.

On the Battlefield

Lord Rambures appears again in a group with the Constable of France, the Duke of Orleans, the Duke of Bourbon, and the Dauphin, this time in another part of the field. The shift from the camp to the battlefield places him among the French leaders during the battle’s action. The play gives him no further individual speech or clearly described decision in these appearances; his role is principally that of a member of the French command assembled around the battle.
