HENRY V (r. 1413-1422)
Soon after his accession, Henry V laid claim to the French crown. Stern and
ruthless, Henry was a brilliant general who had gained military experience i
n his teens, when he fought alongside his father at the battle of Shewsbury.
In 1415, Henry set sail for France, capturing Harfleur. His offer to the Fr
ench Dauphin of personal combat (Richard I and Edward III had made similar o
ffers in their time) was, like those of his predecessors, refused; he went o
n to defeat the French at the Battle of Agincourt. In alliance with unreliab
le Burgundy, and assisted by his brothers (the Dukes of Clarence, Bedford an
d Gloucester), Henry gained control of Normandy in subsequent campaigns. By
the Treaty of Troyes (1420), he gained recognition as heir to the French thr
one, and married Charles VI's daughter Katherine.
Well educated, Henry had a particular interest in liturgical music; he gave
pensions to well-known composers of his time, and a hymn of praise to God, w
hich he ordered sung after Agincourt, still exists. However, Henry's success
was short lived and he died of dysentery in 1422 in Bois de Vincennes, Fran
ce.

on ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur.
L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
