You forgot another key factor... the terrain. Henry V and his commanders selected a strong defensive position with a narrow front that acted as a funnel. The French knights were increasingly jammed together making them an ideal target. Had the battlefield not been so muddy the French would probably have got round to flanking them out of the postion.

The French knights were increasingly jammed together making them an ideal target.The French also had large numbers of men at arms, who were nearly as well armored as the knights and had similar problems with the mud.
