In 1414, Henry the Fifth swore over the body of his late father to assert that claim to the crown of France, which his great-grandfather, urged with such confidence and success. This is the story of that assertion and Henry’s attempt to gain the kingdom of France by blade of sword and arrows of his longbowmen. Compiled in 1833, this history of the famous battle of 1415 is told through contemporary chroniclers on both the English and French sides.
