I call it "Hollywood English", kind of middle English that is fairly nondescript. Most of it anyway, there were the typical gruff regional accents for minor characters.
You've got a Franco-American and an Aussie in the lead roles as Englishmen, and an Englishman playing a French prince. I think actors just like this aspect of the job, shows versatility. I watch a lot of American movies with British actors I don't even know are British because of their American accents.

Agincourt is an extremely famous battle in English history, along with the battle of Hastings, Trafalgar and Waterloo, it's one every kid learns at school.
Quite a bit of Shakespearean artistic license was used with Henry's character, but this is clearly deliberate.
For a start the longbowmen were all Welsh. There is a debatable bit of history that the "V sign" insult originates from them taunting the French with their draw fingers, but possibly myth. They also had to fight tooth and nail just to get to the point of Agincourt, rather than bombard a castle (the only really pointless part of the movie). The battle being fought in muddy conditions is correct.
