I prefer thE Agincourt story (my introduction to Shakespeare, on record, age 10), but suppose the ancient Roman one more likely to be true.
But..couldn't they BOTH be true? The English archers, familiar with the gesture, made use of it in taunting the French for having missed so many...fingers?
That way, you don't meed all those unlikely puns, either!
