Humbling.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

He has now paid the final price for his bravery. What a wonderful human being.

I hope that the French state adequately recognises his bravery.
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

he was a hero.
That term is much abused nowadays, but it is totally justified in this case.
