Membership in the Military Order of Agincourt is open to ladies and gentlemen of honorable character who are descended from a royal, noble, knight, esquire, herald, officer (to include centenar or serjeant), chaplain, priest, or other person of gentlemanly status who fought with King Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt on October 25, 1415. Membership is through lineal descent, but collateral descent is allowed if the veteran has no lineal descendants, which particularly applies to men of the cloth.
