Fought with Henry V at Harfleur and Agincourt
Lieutenant-General of Normandy; Governor of Champagne and Brie, Lieutenant-General of the Field
Called by Henry's biographer Desmond Seward "the most brilliant commander of the entire Hundred Years War after Henry himself.  A complete professional, he was a daring raider into enemy territory who could extricate his men from the most dangerous situations; at the same time he was a skilled artilleryman and expert in siegecraft ... Above all, he had a shrewd grasp of strategy and tactics. He was popular with the troops and dreaded by the enemy."
Salisbury is a desperate homicide,
He fighteth as one weary of his life. (Shakespeare)
