That's why a movie that is made about a little known British king and broadcasted on an international platform like Netflix needs to stop embellishing the truth! If you haven't noticed people, especially students, have stopped reading Shakespeare, because their own cultures have rich literary histories! People born after 1980 have had a totally different approach to history education! They can't be lied to so easily because the internet is available. Therefore, many haven't and won't read the play just like many in the UK won't read US , Chinese or even Kenyan authors! Don't flatter yourself thinking a basic education consists of the entire reading of the Shakespeare's plays! My students are reading Poe, Houghes and Goethe this semester while leaving school every Friday to protest against the environment, to help the homeless or to register voters! This I find more important than learning UK history especially since the UK is leaving the EU! My students are very happy not to read Shakespeare because Shakespeare's values don't bold well with their cultural mentality! In light of Armistice Day, most don't want to have another war in Europe nor read about it! We have more important things to learn about and one is realizing that Shakespeare isn't the final word on English education!

In all of my research, I’ve come to the conclusion that 5,000 for the English is probably accurate, but more than likely closer to 6,000 but the French certainly had no where near 100,000 as this video is suggesting. I’d argue that realistically they probably had closer to 15,000 but that’s just my speculation based on the numbers they fielded at other battles like Harfleur or Rouen. Glad I’m not the only one who caught her massive miscalculation and misunderstanding of medieval warfare in the 15th century.

5000 too up to 100 000 you pulled those numbers out your arse.

"...Henry had a disadvantage with only about 5000 men at his side. The French, meanwhile, had somewhere between 30000 and 100000" Wrong. Most scholars today agree that those numbers were exaggerated by contemporaneous English sources to depict the battle as even more epic. While some current English scholars agree today that the proportion was 7000:20000, some French scholars draw a 9000:12000 proportion. The real number must be in between, but what it is undoubted is that the English were outnumbered.

good flick, but a confusing mash up of Shakespeare's Henry V and some odd contemporary biopic. Soundtrack kicked arse!

Ages wrong: Louis the Dauphin was 18 at the time of his death in 1415 and Henry was 29...in 1415

Well, OF COURSE the film was gonna be a little off: it's based on Shakespeare's play, and in turn, Shakespeare based the play on King Henry IV's official Twitter feed at the time.

There was no assasination plot ruse. That was simply Henry fighting in the hundred years war.

It's typically an english thing to end a movie with their last major victory of the war, despite the fact that the war is not over and they lose decisives battles at the end (Orleans, Patay, Formigny, Castillon)

A series based on a Shakespeare play which was basically propaganda is probably not going to be the most historically accurate.

Just think how different Europes history might have been had Henry V not died (of unknown causes) shortly before he would have been crowned king of France. So much was decided by the whim of Henry's health.

It was still a wonderful drama despite all its historical accuracy being way off. I mean Brave heart was great but wildly inaccurate. This was a really good movie in my opinion.

While I doubt France had time to muster an army of 100,000, they did have one of the largest populations in Europe at the time. Prior to the Black Death the population was around 20 million, after it was reduced to something like 11 million. England on the other hand had a population between 2-3 million, so the romanticised numbers of the armies are accurate to the differences in population size. Medieval armies were generally kept quite small so they could be more easily supplied, and to limit disease, so realistically the French army numbered 30,000 at most, though it was probably much smaller.

I wish this show is a TV series instead of just a movie so bad this King sounds amazing, he was only in power for nine or 10 years and left such an amazing mark on British history that he still thought of one of the best British Kings to have ever lived pretty impressive considering he wasn't even supposed to be king.

The French did not have 100,000 soldiers.. it was actually closer to 13,000. French financial records of the time have often suggested that. Not to mention that 13,000 men was considered a large army of its era. It was also recorded that the battle took place on the morning following a very unpleasant night, with heavy rain. Henry realised very early on that Cavalry was going to be severely hindered in a now boggy quagmire of ploughed fields. The French sustained very heavy casualties at the hands of British Longbowmen. I studied Henry V in school, and was fascinated by the history of his campaigns.

The fact that anyone comes to a KZread channel named "Ms. MOJO" to find out the historical accuracy of ANY SUBJECT is hilarious

How did anyone 'see' this film? I had to crank up the brightness of my screen, and turn off all the lights in my room, and yet I saw only shadows talking!

The number of troops are wrong, the English had around 7,000 to 8,000 men and the french about 15,000 men. Where did you get 30,000 to 100,000 french soldiers from? You saying that french had 30,000 to 100,000 men against 5,000 gives the impression that the French are militarily incompetent. Being a frenchman myself, I had to correct this mistake.

When referring to French names we usually try to use the French pronunciation, for example the ‘T’ at the end of Agincourt is silent.

Seems like these changes were mostly good scriptwriting decisions.

Anyone moaning about facts wrong In the movie it’s based on the play by Shakespeare you absolute no marks stop acting like historians and watch the actual movie and take it for what it is

Shakespeare has never been about accuracy its been about performance and Timothee Chalamet was absolute shit in this. Not too mention way too young for this role. People saying he's good have never seen Shakespeare especially live. They have no idea.

Can we bitch about how they got the Shakespearean adaptation wrong then? Why is Falstaff in it? He was a Shakespearean character from Henry IV not Henry the V, he barely gets a mention in Henry V. the only time he's had a major role in Henry V was in the 1989 Branagh version which was also a totally incorrect adaptation. The Dauphin wasn't at Agincourt in the original Shakespeare play (or in actual history) so that whole fight scene wasn't true to the Shakespearean play. There was no mention of the dispute between Henry and his brother Thomas for the crown in the Shakespearean play because it never happened. Thomas died well after Agincourt in France, so not really based on the play at all then. If it was based on the play, what happened to the siege of Harfleur, which was a non event in the movie. In the Shakespearean play this was a major conflict which resulted in the English having to storm the castle a number of times "Once more unto the breach, dear friends", what happened the St Crispin's Day speech? Huge part of the play, nowhere to be seen in the movie. etc. etc.

Henry IV's sons in age order and by title during their father's reign are Henry, Prince of Wales( Henry V),Earl of Chester, Duke of Gascony Thomas, Duke of Clarence. John, Duke of Bedford Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester

after Hotspur died there did emerge a story that Hal had killed him a concrete that Shakespeare played on in his play Henry IV pt1 Shakespeare furthers this concrete by reducing Hotsupr's age to be closer to to that of Hal at Shoosbery Hotspur was around 33 years old where as Hal was about 17

Lmao the dauphin of france was so sick that he could not move from his bed and this was a shy guy,really respectful,some parts are also false like the battle where the french had not the high ground,it was the english and the way of how the king is show is funny because he actually kill the french prisonners after the battle lol

How about pronouncing the French name of the battle at the heart of the Henry V story (Agincourt) correctly (Agincore) and get the estimates of French soldiers even close. Most scholarly estimates have 30,000 as the upper limit and none get anywhere close to 100,000. “The King” is a gripping semi-fictional drama based on Shakespeare’s semi fictional play. This clip does a good job at separating fact from fiction

Agincourt is neither the actual name of the French locality nor the battle, it's Azincourt. With a Z.

Not sure where you got your info but the French never had 30k-100k troops during that time. If they had 30k fighting troops, there was no way that Henry could have won that battle at all. The French had roughly about 15k fighting men, the rest were servants.

Almost no single Medieval army could realistically muster 100,000 fighting men. This type of gross exaggeration is something Medieval writers liked to do to make feats seem grander, victories more heroic and losses less embarrassing. Robert the Monk’s History of the First Crusade is an example of a primary text that exaggerates numbers beyond belief, even claiming that some Muslim armies encountered by the Crusaders numbered more than 300,000 which was pretty much impossible at the time. The numbers at Agincourt were more likely 4,000-6,000 for the English, with about 1,000 being men-at-arms or knights and the rest being longbowmen, and 10,000-15,000 men comprising the French army. Any more than 5,000-10,000 men (which was about an average army, though the majority were probably on the lower end,) on one side would have been considered a massive and terrifying army in the 15th century.

The battle of angicourt marked the abandonment of chivalry combat rules, as the english use more cheeky and brute strategies to win the battle such as pulling frech men from their horse and stabbing them while they were at the groud. The did also used long bow archers behind wooden stakes which was a sucessful strategy, not propertly protraied in the film

I don't want to spoil anyone's experience if they haven't yet watched, but in NOV., 2019, I ow that PATTINSON is BEYOND creepy in this....amazing !!!

Your numbers at Agincourt are WAAAAY off. Henry had roughly 8-9k troops, and the French had between 18-25k. The French did not have 30-100k soldiers, and you should really check the source (or trash it) which gave you this ridiculous number.

Great film!!

Yeah idk bout those french numbers at the battle chief the english initially had 12,000 at the start of the campaign but by the time of agincourt they had around 8,000 while the french had about 30,000 men

The first shot of the film you played was filmed in my hometown!

Loved the movie kinda find it weird how they did Agincourt they kept half of the strategy of English for some weird reason. They eliminated both the stakes in front of the archers and the surrounding maneuver. Additionally showing the slaughter of the French prisoners forcing the last of the French army to retreat in fear would have been nice.

Oh, I hated Hal for basically abandoning and betraying Falstaff in the Shakespeare play (which was represented again in My Own Private Idaho, with Keanu Reeves playing the Hal character!). I was surprised to see, then, that in this version Hal doesn't betray Falstaff. I know it's not historically accurate, but it makes for some great drama, in both cases.

As much as the film was solid, I think a more faithful interpretation of Shakespeare could have been better.

I knew they got the battle tactics wrong.
