He couldn't have been born "about 1405" and have fought -- and been knighted at Agincourt, in October 1415. He would have been only 9-11 years old, if that were the case.

If this is legit, then his birthdate needs to be in the 1390s, or earlier. Right? That is impossible given his notional parents current profile-birthdates here on WikiTree. So, there's a problem.

What are the ironclad sources we can look to for truth?
