A commonly repeated legend claims that the two-fingered salute or V sign derives from a gesture made by longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War, but no written historical primary sources support this contention. [26] This origin legend states that Welsh archers believed that those who were captured by the French had their index and middle fingers cut off so that they could no longer operate their longbows, and that the V sign was used by uncaptured and victorious archers in a display of defiance against the French. In conflict with this origin myth, the chronicler Jean de Wavrin, contemporary of the battle, reported that Henry V mentioned in a pre-battle speech that the French were said to be threatening to cut off three fingers (not two) from captured bowmen. [27] [28] Wielding an English longbow is best done with three fingers. [29] Neither Wavrin nor any contemporary author reported the threat was ever carried out after that nor other battles, nor did they report anything concerning a gesture of defiance.

Accessed 23 April 2008 May 2011: Maxim Gun (!) is right on to this. ‘First let me say that your non British readers might not understand the gesture in its totality. It is not, as you say, just two fingers, there is also the forceful upward motion. Second, Desmond Morris did some work on this. Essentially he did not come to a conclusion but he suggested, inter alia , that it might be two fingers for poking at eyes!’ MG is spot on, of course, with the upward motion. Could it have been a variation on the single middle finger that also involves a speedy upward motion? You give me one finger so I give you two? Thanks Maxim!!
