Henry V
England's warrior king
Henry V was King of England from 1413 to 1422, famous for his victory over the French at the Battle of Agincourt.
Shakespeare's play of the same name immortalized him as the ideal warrior-king, giving English literature the St.
Crispin's Day speech: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
