IMMORTALIZED IN THE PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE, HENRY V IS THE MOST FAMOUS AND CELEBRATED OF ALL ENGLAND`S MEDIEVAL MONARCHS. HIS SUCCESSION OF VICTORIES OVER THE FRENCH, COMBINED WITH HIS DEATH AT AN EARLY AGE, HAS CREATED AN AURA OF MYTH AROUND THE MAN AND COMMANDER THAT HAS ENDURED TO THIS DAY. THIS TITLE EXAMINES HENRY`S KEY BATTLES AND SIEGES, HOW HE SYSTEMATICALLY EXTENDED ENGLISH CONTROL THROUGHOUT NORTHERN FRANCE, AND HOW HE WAS PERCEIVED BY HIS CONTEMPORARIES AS A MILITARY LEADER.
