Cornwell gave it the French spelling because it brings the book up better on search engine results 
Unfortunately, the American publishers said, "I'm not sure people will realise this is about Agincourt, so we're spelling it the traditional way."
I assume this is from the same school of thought that demanded THE MADNESS OF GEORGE III be retitled because they thought Americans would think it's a sequel.
