"King Henry V" by William Shakespeare is a history play written circa 1599. It follows the young English king as he leads an invasion of France, claiming the throne through ancestral right. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Henry's army faces the French at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The play chronicles Henry's transformation from the wild prince of earlier plays into a decisive military leader, culminating in his legendary victory and pursuit of both a kingdom and a royal bride.
