Agincourt
At the Battle of Agincourt, the French threatened to cut off the English longbowmen's first and second fingers (As these are the fingers used to keep the arrow in place), thus permanently disarming them. But when the English won the battle, they waved their fingers defiantly at the enemy and so that's how it started and it sill goes on to this day.

The Battle of Agincourt (pronounced a zhin cor) was fought on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day), in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War. The armies involved were those of the English King Henry V and Charles VI of France. Charles did not command his army himself, as he was incapacitated. The French were commanded by the Constable Charles d'Albret and various prominent French noblemen of the Armagnac party. The battle is notable for the use of the English longbow, which the English used in very large numbers, with longbowmen forming the vast majority of their army. The battle was also immortalised by William Shakespeare as the centrepiece of his play Henry V.
