    About this ebook

    In the early 15th century, young King Henry V ascends to the throne of England after the death of his father, King Henry IV. As his restless subjects deal with the aftermath of bitter civil wars, the young king must face his wild youth and prove himself to gain the respect of his people. Using his family's distant roots to French royalty and the interpretation of ancient land laws, Henry lays claim to parts of France. Unsurprisingly, the Dauphin, the ruling prince of France, ridicules Henry's claim and dismisses it. Left with little choice Henry decides to invade France instead. "Henry V" is the last of William Shakespeare's historical plays, often referred to as The Henriad. The others are "Richard II" "Henry IV, Part 1." and "Henry IV, Part 2." All plays are loosely based on the Lancaster branch of England's House of Plantagenet. Fans of the Netflix show "The King" will recognize similar storylines that are also loosely based on true events. -
