“The best biography of England’s greatest king yet.” – Writer of Simon Sebag Montefor, Romanovs and Jerusalem
The New York Times Bestsailing writer returns to a biography who examines the dramatic life and examines the unique leadership of England’s greatest medieval king
Henry V ruled England for only nine years and four months and died only at the age of thirty -five, but he revolves on late Middle Ages and beyond the landscape. The winner of the Agencourt, he is remembered as the ancce of the Kingsship, a model that closely mimics by his heirs. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study for the youth, which was redirected in the Sobber Statesmanship. For a modern medievalist, Henry was quite simple, “The greatest person who once ruled England.”
For Dan Jones, Henry V is one of the most complicated characters in all medieval history, but one of the most difficult to pin. He was a strict, sometimes cruel warrior, yet he was creative and artistic with the nature of a book. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who told his friends and family wrong, but when he matched, he always used to win. As the king, he saved a broken country from economic ruin, putting rebellions down, and securing the boundaries of England; In foreign diplomacy, he once again made England a serious player. Nevertheless, through his victory in northern France, he sowed seeds for three generations of disaster at home, as rose wars.
Henry V is a historic Titan whose legacy has become a complex. To understand the man behind legend, Jones first examines the years of Henry’s training, when he saw one king’s collapse and disturbed rule of the other. After his reception in 1413, he was already active political and military for years, and his extraordinary achievements as the king would come shortly after, he would earn a unique historical reputation. Writing with his specific intelligence and style, Jones provides a thrilling and unnatural life of England’s greatest king.
