Henry V (1386 – 1422), also called Henry of Monmouth, was King of England from 1413 until his death in 1422. During his short reign, his military successes during the Hundred Years' War against France made England one of the strongest military powers in Europe.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1420, the Treaty of Troyes was signed with Queen Isabeau granting Henry V the Kingdom of France after the death of Isabeau's husband Charles VI. Henry, however predeceased Charles by a couple of months, so instead the kingdom was granted to his infant son Henry VI.[2][3]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Henry V's exploits were later made famous by the playwright William Shakespeare in the play Henry V, written in 1599 and first performed the following year.[4]
In October 2016, the Templar historian Simon Hathaway mentioned Henry V and his short reign while talking about the large scale of the Hundred Years' War. He noted that he did not die in glorious battle, rather, dying of dysentery.[4]
