As Dan pointed out, it's a matter of leadership: Henry V was a great leader, by the way beyond winning battles. Could you imagine what would have happened if Charles VI - who passed away at 54 years old and was literally crazy - would have died after Henry V (who died at 35)? Instead of Henry VI, Henry V would have officially become King of France. Even with the support of Joan of Arc, I don't see how Charles VII would have overcome such an "hurdle". But this is uchronia...
I didn't know the medieval times were soooo funny, but the lady is laughing heartily at all the slaughtering and killimg and burning she hears about 😮😮😮
I doubt somehow that Henry ever had much trouble with the question of what to do with traitors. It wasn’t just that he’d seen the consequences and was all business - that would be ruthless action and personal grief, and maybe an occasional drop of mercy. He just didn’t care that much and he liked blood. Though he was certainly disciplined about it. After that surgery anything and everything must have seemed easy. His imprisonment of his stepmother for witchcraft was awfully politically convenient, too. I’m not the least bit convinced that he wasn’t capable of trumping up false charges for political gain, and she had been on his side beforehand, which makes it doubly damning. In that sense, it truly was ‘all business,’ and justice in the real moral sense didn’t matter at all.

I mean "have died before Henry V"
I thought Machiavelli had passed on, but he is alive and kicking!
