What a time to be alive!

As a lover of European history this series is a revelation. I’ve gained a lot more detailed information on the various people who were central to events over many centuries. This for me is what the internet is all about, knowledge presented intelligently on whatever subject is of your particular interest, not some shallow meaningless so-called celebrity influencer.

As a Yank I'm not sure of the proforance of all English Kings. But Henry the 5th has my vote. His advanced planning in regards to making stockpiles of the long bow was a genius move. Spikes in the field is another. His use of yoemen, as opposed to the French who preferred to have the knights take the lead , shows the English regard for the capability for its people. Also the arrows rained down on the French myst have caused a lots of armored knights to be thrown. The mud was a bonus. But the victory wasn't due the a Frence's enferior leadership is was due to the English superiority.

Branagh and the whole cast were FANTASTIC!

I became attached to the history of Henry V through Shakespeare's play. The Bard composed one of the most beautiful of his plays when he worked on that one, previously written by Edward De Vere. The 1989 movie by Kenneth Branagh is also a huge tribute to the man. An outstanding man and King.

@jeffersonwright6249

Yes an outstanding individual - and like all outstanding individuals he benefited enormously from the mistakes of his enemies: at agincourt french military advisors told the French army not to charge the English army across a narrow open field. BUT the French nobles thought they had HV’s retreating army on the run and on the ropes which they did, English troops were starving and sick with malaria and dysentery. So the French nobles thought that one final charge would wipe the English out and win them eternal glory. We know what happened next. Worst, after the battle, the English who at this point were little more than a guerrilla rabble, slaughtered all French prisoners they discovered still alive on the field. Shocking even by medieval standards and of course William Shakespeare omits that entirely

Excellent account, well presented. Thank you.

9,000 men isn't really supported by evidence. The English numbers in Anne Curry's book are based on the incomplete sick lists. According to her, 11,248 soldiers and 614 support personnel embarked for France.[1] 1,200 were left at Harfleur as a garrison. 1,330 were invalided home. 36 died.[2] Therefore Henry V had 8,680 soldiers and closer to 9,000 when we take into account the reinforcements.[3] However, we do not know if the pay rolls fully and accurately reflect the number of men who were invalided at Harfleur.[3] Those 1,330 was on a list put together out of fear of desertion at the end of the siege.[4] It does not include those who left early during the siege, neither those who deserted, or those who were too sick and stayed at Harfleur when Henry V departed. 1,330 is too low if they suffered from dysentery. Supposedly only 1 earl, 14 men-at-arms and 21 archers died during the siege.[5] That's too low and can not be taken seriously. Henry V's decision in 1417 to pay those that died or left the army meant that there was no need to keep records of English causalities as long as they had the pay rolls.[3] The sources say that thousands were stricken with the bloody flux. The mortality rate among the major magnates was 21.4 %, or 3 out of 14 earls/dukes/bishops dead, and supposedly only 36 men as a total died. It doesn't make sense. (One of the earls died in England.) 10-25 % dying is normal when an army is infected with dysentery.[6] The total number of sick would be around 33-50 %. If we accept the middle ground, around 42 % sick and dead, or 4,982 men, we are close to those 5,000 mentioned by Gesta Henrici Quinti. Subtract those numbers from 11,862 men (which include 614 support) and we have 6,880 left. Subtract a garrison of 1,200 from this and we have 5,680. Subtract most of the support personnel left (miners, laborers, masons and half the carpenters), around 262 men. Add in 543 reinforcements, most of them archers and a few centenary. Now we have 5,961 men. That’s 4,967 archers, 94 wagoners, carpenters and blacksmiths etc. serving as archers, 900 men-at-arms (mounted lancers) as well as approximately 87 well armoured gros valets in the service of the major magnates and rich knights payed for from their own pockets and therefore not counted as soldiers in the pay rolls. One of only three eyewitness accounts on the English side who could have known, the author of Gesta Henrici Quinti, said the English had 5,000 archers and 900 lancers. This was repeated by John Hardyng, also an eyewitness. [1] Agincourt: A New History page 83 [2] The Battle of Agincourt,” The Hundred Years War (Part II): Different Vistas, ed. L. J.

As a French native , born in Anjou, with an American passport, I became very interested by the History of England. I am listening the whole series. I am learning a lot and can understand better, and complete the medieval history of France . It is important to see History from different points of vue… ( I was very sad that the English people voted yes to the Brexit - not the people from Wales, nor the one from Scotland… - ) My only “complaint “ - I am French 😉 - would be the repetitive images illustrating the speech. Sometimes they are not even linked to the story…

Rip king Henry v

Good chap HENRY ,

Merkwürdig - in der Doku wird gesagt, Henry V. lernte bereits in seiner Jugend Englisch, Französisch und Latein schreiben und sprechen. Aber es ist ebenso bekannt, daß Henry in seiner Verlobungszeit mit Catherine de Valois mit seiner Braut ohne Dolmetscher/-in nicht sprechen konnte, da er kein Französisch und Catherine kein Englisch konnte. Mag sein, daß sein Vater ihm diese Kenntnisse vermitteln wollte, aber Henry's Interessen lagen immer auf militärischem und politischem Gebiet, von Sprachen hielt er nicht viel. Ansonsten ist diese Doku sehr gut gemacht. Es gibt übrigens auf deutsch einen hervorragenden historischen Romanzyklus von der Autorin Rebecca Gablé, die in 7 Bänden die Geschichte des mittelalterlichen Englands von der Eroberung 1066 bis zum Sieg über die spanische Armada 1588 erzählt. Ich weiß allerdings nicht, inwieweit diese Bücher auch in englischer Sprache erschienen sind. (Es handelt sich hier um den "Waringham-Zyklus", ein fiktives Adelsgeschlecht, daß über die Jahrhunderte immer wieder in die wichtigen Ereignisse hereingezogen wird)

In the thumb he looks like George Orwell.

one of us, one of us, one of us

Often a king so determined to be great can let their ambition for greatness affect the security of their reign byndraining all resources. We see that with the Sun King in france and also in England wuth Henry V. Henry IV had a rocky reign but in doing so he secured the kingdom for his son. Henry V onpy produced one heir from marrying so late and spending so little time at home that when that heir was a dud the succession was called into question. He also drained the coffers in the process of being great. His son's deposition and the return of the Plantagenets was inevitable.
