  • Name Henry V King Of ENGLAND  [1, 3, 4
    • He was created Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Earl of Chester on 15 Oct 1399, Duke of Aquitaine on 23 Oct 1399, and Duke of Lancaster on 10 Nov 1399. He succeeded his father on 21 Mar 1412/3, and was crowned King of England on 9 Apr 1413. by his French conquests leading to the Treaty of Troyes on 21 May 1420 he assumed the title of Heir and Regent of the realm of France. Henry V of England, King of England, died at Bois de Vincennes on 31 Aug 1422, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. His widow is said to have been married for the second time (though no evidence of the marriage has been discovered) to Owen Tudor (beheaded by the Yorkists after the Battle Mortimer's Crown at Hereford on 4 Feb 1461.) [1]
    • The Lancastrian period was marked by almost continual warfare. Baronial revolt and war with Welsh patriots broke out in the first decade, and dynastic war during the last, with prolonged warfare in France occupying most of the intervening four decades, when King Henry V opened the final phase of the 100 Years' War. He recovered many English possessions, but they were all lost during the reign of his son, Henry VI. the loss of the French possessions, together with the weak government of Henry VI, led to the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses, a campaign led by the supporters of Richard, Duke of York and Protector of England, during the illness of his cousin, Henry VI, to place Richard on the throne instead of Henry.

      Soon after succeeding his father, Henry V revived the 100 Years' War with France. In 1415, Henry defeated the French army at Agincourt, and by 1420 he had forced the French King, Charles VI, to accept him as heir. This pact was sealed by Henry's marriage to Charles's daughter, Catherine. [2]
