King Henry V was the son of Henry IV & Mary de Bohun. He began his reign reviving the Hundred Years War with France, taking back lost ancestral lands. A chivalric, warrior king, Henry V was an excellent military leader, famously defeating the vast French army at the Battle of Agincourt. Deeply religious and merciful to his enemies, King Henry V is one of England’s greatest kings, despite his short reign, and the last true medieval warrior king. King Henry V died a month before being crowned king of France, and tragically would never meet his only child, Henry VI, the future king of England and France.
