    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
      @jeffersonwright6249 Рік тому +4

      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

    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.

    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.

    At 9:50 “the first usurpation of the English crown in well over 200 years” Question, what about Edward II, 72 years earlier?

    this is a great video, i have a suggestion though. I find it hard to remember names so i sometimes forget who is who, something that could help that would be if there was always a small family tree in the corner or something, so everytime the narrator talks about someone the appropriate persons name gets highlighted in the tree. This is just a wishful suggestion tough :)

    It's so sad Henry died at such a young age, only 35 years old. He was an incredible king, and I honestly believe europe would look a lot different had he lived into his 60s like some of his previous monarchs such as Edward I and Edward III.

    Very well done, thank you. As a footnote the English side lost the battle at Castaillon la Bataille becuse the French had massed thousands of canon and guns in this the final battle of the 100 years against the English and Girondins that still relied too heavily on the longbow. They were still fighting the last war.

    His fantastic military skills.
    Did such an extreme effort make any sense?
    Well, Shakespeare produced one of his best plays based upon Henry V's Life Saga.
    Aside from that, very little was accomplished !

    If the likeness of Harry was accurate, it would show his disfigured left side of his face where a quarrel nearly killed him at Shrewsbury. He didn't smile too frequently after that, maybe from the paralysis of the facial nerve

    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.

    Not surprising Mary de Bohun died young! Starting childbearing as a child herself, and then having seven successive pregnancies. No wonder Henry of Monmouth was not strong enough to withstand the dysentery that killed him. None of her children achieved longevity.
