Wow, let that sink in for a moment…. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good night, sweet prince.
Bid them Achieve me and then, Sell My Bones! I'm Motivated now! I'm going to watch all the clips from Henry V movie!
😂The Boys Actor Tomer Capone is on this documentary 45:02
As a retired U. S. Air Force veteran that spent alot of TDY time in the U. K. at Mildenhall I visited sites all over the U. K. these videos bring alot of information on the places I visited. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your service.

If not for the states it would be Nazi England. Never forget it
@@hotstepper887 Spoken like an edgy 16 year old. We didn’t just go to the UK and Europe saying bugger off we’re setting up bases here. If they wanted us gone we’d be gone. We’re closely allied nations and leading members of NATO. Of course we have bases in some Allied nations. Just like the UK have bases in continental Europe.

Henry V demonstrates the effectiveness of education, focus, and wisdom. Additionally, the part fortune plays upon the outcome of war. Equally, how blind ambition, treachery, and disloyalty will rapidly undo what's been achieved. Such as it ever was, and still is.
Or, alternatively, don't be an ass and start a bloody war just to legitimise your pretense to the throne, and expect your enemy just to roll over and not defend themselves (granted, they didn't at first).
easy to say when you arent a new king with greey nobles ready to stab you at the first failure or sign of weakness @@ogladaczr.t.3168
Indeed
I don't know why i am so fasinated by the English Kings and Queens, Henry the V is my favorite. Really makes me wish I could go back in time.
My favorite as well warrior king hands down oh the things that he would have accomplished if he would have lived ..my hero eternal..
One day we will have that power to do so!
Me too 100%! I stumbled across that movie on netflix, "the king" pretty darn good.
Henry V was the same story as Alexander The Great
Undefeated in battle
Defeated by illness
Empires later defeated after death
@@Freedombytruththey are not even spelt the same plus Alexander was not English so of no interest.
defeated by diarrhea
Well done, fascinating, and well illustrated. Also outstanding clear diction.
Yes, it is impossible for me to understand many British speakers of English, but this is easy.
That's because it was made by the BBC. 🧐
Obviously, this is the best channel on CZcams, second to none.
You're welcome! 😁 We have some resident trolls, our bad.

@@PeopleProfiles No worries !
@@PeopleProfiles omg I can't wait !!! ,♥️♥️♥️
Love you guys! I've got to stay in the hospital for 6 weeks and I have your channel playing nonstop!!!
Man, WHERE does this channel get its documentaries from?! The QUALITY! This channel should literally be required watching for anyone studying history and especially for anyone NOT studying history!
CZcams is an invaluable tool, so many gifted people. Our grandchildren love the easy draw videos that teach classical structure and perspective brilliantly. I've noted schools in Brit use them and many history progs too.

They make them themselves
Such an excellent resource! On top of being able to feed my brain with wonderful history docs and channels such as this great one- there are SO many professionals and experts who will teach you and give of their time and expertise to teach you anything and everything you could ever ask to know!At 64, I don’t bother watching tv anymore, I haven’t for 10 years now,just YT! What a time to be alive!
As a lover of European history this series is a revelation. I’ve gained a lot more detailed information on the various people who were central to events over many centuries. This for me is what the internet is all about, knowledge presented intelligently on whatever subject is of your particular interest, not some shallow meaningless so-called celebrity influencer.
As a Yank I'm not sure of the proforance of all English Kings. But Henry the 5th has my vote. His advanced planning in regards to making stockpiles of the long bow was a genius move. Spikes in the field is another. His use of yoemen, as opposed to the French who preferred to have the knights take the lead , shows the English regard for the capability for its people. Also the arrows rained down on the French myst have caused a lots of armored knights to be thrown. The mud was a bonus. But the victory wasn't due the a Frence's enferior leadership is was due to the English superiority.
It simply also showed the worth of education, I am sure he got lots of the ideas by studying ancient battle plans and books!
Umm.. no not really. It was more due to the capture of the French Kings battle battle plan. Never forget that at any one time 30% of the English army consisted of Bretons, Gascons and Burgundians.
Welcome our American Cousin welcome.
@@rexbarron4873the Mad King? No. He wasn't involved in military strategy by that point.
Edward III was mostly responsible for the english development of the longbow in large battles.
Branagh and the whole cast were FANTASTIC!
I became attached to the history of Henry V through Shakespeare's play. The Bard composed one of the most beautiful of his plays when he worked on that one, previously written by Edward De Vere. The 1989 movie by Kenneth Branagh is also a huge tribute to the man. An outstanding man and King.
Yes an outstanding individual - and like all outstanding individuals he benefited enormously from the mistakes of his enemies: at agincourt french military advisors told the French army not to charge the English army across a narrow open field. BUT the French nobles thought they had HV’s retreating army on the run and on the ropes which they did, English troops were starving and sick with malaria and dysentery. So the French nobles thought that one final charge would wipe the English out and win them eternal glory. We know what happened next. Worst, after the battle, the English who at this point were little more than a guerrilla rabble, slaughtered all French prisoners they discovered still alive on the field. Shocking even by medieval standards and of course William Shakespeare omits that entirely
I love Kenneth Branagh's Henry V!
@@jeffersonwright6249Shakespeare was creating a legend. Based mainly on reality. But the wastrel Hal of Henry IV was a poetic creation.
This was a great documentary to watch, it was so relaxing to watch a documentary without having the presenter face constantly on the screen being more about the presenter than the subject as it is the trend today. So many wonna bes celebrities out there. So Thank You, it was an absolute pleasure to watch a documentary all about the subject. I throughly enjoyed it, it is one of the best I have watched.
Found out one of my ancestors was an archer at Battle of Agincourt, was blown away.
How did you find this out?
@@157dixon there is a huge list of people involved in the Battle of Agincourt from both sides at the Royal Armoury Museum, someone did years of research on it all.
@sorrysirmygunisoneba that's awesome. I've always wondered if I did as well. I mean with shared ancestry anyone of English decent probably has a high likelihood of this being the case
@@157dixonMillions of people are related to just ghengis khan lol
This is my absolute favorite narrator
Keep up the good work and the great videos.
Thank you so much for all your efforts. Very much appreciated!🙏🏻
Happy early 636th birthday 👑 King Henry V 👑
This young man has my respect. Brilliant, merciful, excellent leader. I believe he accomplished what The Black Prince would have done, had he lived long enough to become king. 👍👏⚔
Henry V , if he lived longer, would have been regarded as England's greatest king.
King Arthur the greatest
@@YourHeartIsTheKey King Arthur did not exist.
Henry V is already considered the greatest king of England.
@@aten5102 By some but certainly not by everyone. Monarchs like Edward III and Elizabeth I are far more popular.
@@medievalhistorybuff Being more popular doesn't mean being bigger and better.
Excellent production - clear commentary - couldn't be better or more entertaining. Well done People Profiles,
For England and Saint George !🏴
I love English history...great video..keep up the good work.
You have got to see the documentary about the surgeon that removed an arrowhead from inside Henry V's skull! After the Battle of Shrewsbury. Short but brilliant.
That’s why I watched this video. Rather gruesome sound effects in the other video.
Excellent Narrative, informed and very interesting! Such a lot of history!
I love The People Profiles! Each episode leads to my hunger for more in all directions. The narrative is thoroughly useful in understanding context & historical behaviors. You’ve got me to “brush up my Shakespeare” as well, and discover paths l never really had trod in any fullness.
Ditto on the Shalespeare front.
I’ve always liked studying about Henry V . He was bad ass . If I could go back in time I would have had a beer with him .
I liked The King film, but the way it depicted the Battle of Agnicourt really made my blood boil. For a battle everyone knows was won by the longbow, we only see like, two volleys!!!
Hollywood is notorious for taking liberties. I never go into this type of film looking for accuracy. That way I am not disappointed and can enjoy the non-fiction script.
@@Sweetyhide Ah, the problem re films with plots 'loosely-adopted' from true-to-life stories.
Watch the 1989 version of Henry V, an excellent movie.
To be fair, I doubt the original Globe Theater production depicted the longbow properly either.
Wasn't worth watching. After looking at Henry and his mates chain mail hanging 3ins below their chins and tbe lack of gambison padding on the helmets/basinets I lost interest. Took a peek back to see the battle and realised the armies faced each other over a valley, rather than a ploughed field and then spotted the skinny little longbows with not a yew bow in sight. Dont even meantion the duel between Henry and the French king, which historically didnt happen.
Love your videos
This is an amazing video. I never knew anything about this war before so I am very glad this was made.
These documentaries are so detailed and well presented
Be nice to watch documentaries like this without 40 adds every 2 minutes !!
We lucky few, we band of brothers, for he who shares his blood with me will forever be my brother... excellent speech..
Extraordinary documentaries.
New here! This channel IS amazing. Love from 🇪🇸
Excellent presentation, thank you
Awesome! Thank you for this history!♡
I've always had a school girl crush on Henry 5th. Thrilled to find this documentary!
If only u could tell him u got a crush on him. She wants to crush me chop her head off
thank you for another good video to help my insomnia and help me fall asleep
subscribed. absolutely loved this video
Will watch it when I habe got the chance!surprised it doesn't have loads of views already! Absolutely fascinating king 🤴
If King Henry 5 lived a few years longer the French would be speaking English
Probably not.
More likely, the English Language would become even more influenced by the French and Latin
Around 70% of the English Idiom has its roots in the French and Latin.
Browsing through a good English Dictionary will enlighten any person.
Warm Regards,

@@albertseabra9226 The Meaning is France would be England,
@@samright4661 French culture was far superior.
Accordingly, French would become dominant.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Romman Law, Roman Culture , Chistianism and Latin were absorbed by the Germanic Invaders - Namely, in the Iberian Península.
The New Kings acknowledge the advantages of a superior cultural body.
@@albertseabra9226 😂😂😂 Ok France y'all gave the world not 1 But 2 Napoleons Both Failed and Was pushed back by Prussia..
@@albertseabra9226If Richard 1 didn't Crusade he would have Kicked Phillip Ass in Battle and never would have lost the Land that King John lost..
A Great 'What if..!?' What if Henry the V had lived another 10 to 20yrs.
Maybe, More of France would have been Held..?
Maybe, The Wars of the Roses wod have been Avoided..!?
I think thats why Henry V is so Lionised. With a Little help From Mr. Will Shakespeare of Course.
Great Video very Detailed.
Thanks Guys.
Cheers Kim in Oz. 😎
Most excellent video, lots of support and respect for all involved with its production. Rodge David kidderminster uk
Nice. Best one I’ve see since your (seeming) protege brief history
Excellent account, well presented. Thank you.
9,000 men isn't really supported by evidence. The English numbers in Anne Curry's book are based on the incomplete sick lists. According to her, 11,248 soldiers and 614 support personnel embarked for France.[1] 1,200 were left at Harfleur as a garrison. 1,330 were invalided home. 36 died.[2] Therefore Henry V had 8,680 soldiers and closer to 9,000 when we take into account the reinforcements.[3]
However, we do not know if the pay rolls fully and accurately reflect the number of men who were invalided at Harfleur.[3] Those 1,330 was on a list put together out of fear of desertion at the end of the siege.[4] It does not include those who left early during the siege, neither those who deserted, or those who were too sick and stayed at Harfleur when Henry V departed. 1,330 is too low if they suffered from dysentery. Supposedly only 1 earl, 14 men-at-arms and 21 archers died during the siege.[5] That's too low and can not be taken seriously.
Henry V's decision in 1417 to pay those that died or left the army meant that there was no need to keep records of English causalities as long as they had the pay rolls.[3]
The sources say that thousands were stricken with the bloody flux. The mortality rate among the major magnates was 21.4 %, or 3 out of 14 earls/dukes/bishops dead, and supposedly only 36 men as a total died. It doesn't make sense. (One of the earls died in England.)
10-25 % dying is normal when an army is infected with dysentery.[6] The total number of sick would be around 33-50 %.
If we accept the middle ground, around 42 % sick and dead, or 4,982 men, we are close to those 5,000 mentioned by Gesta Henrici Quinti. Subtract those numbers from 11,862 men (which include 614 support) and we have 6,880 left. Subtract a garrison of 1,200 from this and we have 5,680. Subtract most of the support personnel left (miners, laborers, masons and half the carpenters), around 262 men. Add in 543 reinforcements, most of them archers and a few centenary. Now we have 5,961 men. That’s 4,967 archers, 94 wagoners, carpenters and blacksmiths etc. serving as archers, 900 men-at-arms (mounted lancers) as well as approximately 87 well armoured gros valets in the service of the major magnates and rich knights payed for from their own pockets and therefore not counted as soldiers in the pay rolls.
One of only three eyewitness accounts on the English side who could have known, the author of Gesta Henrici Quinti, said the English had 5,000 archers and 900 lancers. This was repeated by John Hardyng, also an eyewitness.

Excellent documentary.
A very interesting documentary.
Brilliant video
Thank you very much.
Would he lived longer English history could take different course.Imagine...no War of the Roses,no Tudors, no breaking with Rome.Who knows?
Excellent work. Hank 4 doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Thank you!
Excellent, watched twice.
Great video
Great content
Well done.
Thanks from America.
Well it's a few hundred years since the battle, so it's a little late. But appreciated!
Just LOVE LOVE history...
Awesomeness 👌🏻 💗
As far as I know Henry V never lost a battle as Prince or King right?
Right
Thanks 😊
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks.
What an amazing man and king
The great king Hal!
No Englishman will pay a single penny for my ransom, for I intend to win or die tomorrow.
At 9:50 “the first usurpation of the English crown in well over 200 years” Question, what about Edward II, 72 years earlier?
Overall, I’m enjoying these. That narrator’s voice! Is it Robert Hardy?
this is a great video, i have a suggestion though. I find it hard to remember names so i sometimes forget who is who, something that could help that would be if there was always a small family tree in the corner or something, so everytime the narrator talks about someone the appropriate persons name gets highlighted in the tree. This is just a wishful suggestion tough :)
Hey, do you guys have any intention on completing all the kings of England? Love your videos, xo
The fortunate circumstances of his Life.
Charles VI of France mental problems.
The Political instability in France.
The Favorable terrain conditions in Azincourt (Agincourt ).
His fantastic military skills.
Did such an extreme effort make any sense?
Well, Shakespeare produced one of his best plays based upon Henry V's Life Saga.
Aside from that, very little was accomplished !
He also did much for England in terms of economic and social progress.
My thoughts, exactly, when all was said and done.
Henry V did a lot for English culture and economy, that’s not all he did
could you make flavius stilichus and also love your videos
If the likeness of Harry was accurate, it would show his disfigured left side of his face where a quarrel nearly killed him at Shrewsbury. He didn't smile too frequently after that, maybe from the paralysis of the facial nerve
The massacre is all the more strange when you consider that almost the same thing happened 70 years earlier at Crecy. The French learned nothing.
That's right. They did the same stupid arrogant mistake twice. They did learn from Azincourt though. And crushed the English 14 years later at Patay, which was a disastrous blow to English aspirations in France.
@@fredericksandelia9648 Not before the French suffered yet another massive defeat at the battle at Verneuil nine years after Agincourt. A victory for England almost on a par to Agincourt.
Henry v had balls thhat big and heavy he needed huge leather sacks to carry them and a huge horse to take the weight. This is a historical fact .
Every week, the English publish a new video about Azincourt 1415. They need it. It's their best anti-depressant.
Oh. There's a lot more, what about 2nd Azincourt, Poitiers, Crecy,Trafalgar, Vimerio,Waterloo the list goes on.....
@@johnfox6639 Hundred Years War: Cocherel, Pontvallain, La Brossinière, Orléans, Patay, Formigny, Castillon. The Valois had victory at the end anyway.
Napoleonic Wars: While the English spent their time making propaganda cartoons about Napoleon, their continental allies were really fighting against him at his prime, not when it was already over for him after years of battle.
66 World cup.
Henry V would have been rolling over in his grave had he knew what would have happened during his son's (Henry VI) Regin. All those years waging war in France was for nothing. Mores the pity.
Great documentary - King Henry V certainly was a fascinating character
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
Wow. If? If! If.
So many “if’s” in these comments.
We may have never been born “if” anything was different.
Great video!
As a French native , born in Anjou, with an American passport, I became very interested by the History of England. I am listening the whole series. I am learning a lot and can understand better, and complete the medieval history of France . It is important to see History from different points of vue…
( I was very sad that the English people voted yes to the Brexit - not the people from Wales, nor the one from Scotland… - )
My only “complaint “ - I am French 😉 - would be the repetitive images illustrating the speech. Sometimes they are not even linked to the story…
The more you study English history the less sense American history makes. They gave us a damn good start, but we've stumbled. Maybe because we are drunk on ourselves.
Can you give me the music name please? Or the artist.
Very well done, thank you. As a footnote the English side lost the battle at Castaillon la Bataille becuse the French had massed thousands of canon and guns in this the final battle of the 100 years against the English and Girondins that still relied too heavily on the longbow. They were still fighting the last war.
the english and french have more shared stories of war than the rest of the world
The English longbow corps at Castillon was only a pale shadow of the elite, well-trained one that fought at Azincourt, which was crushed and destroyed by the French 14 years after Azincourt, at Patay 1429. But you're right, longbows, elite or not, against canons, not a good idea.
Oh Azincourt, what a surprise ! Something on Castillon ?
Yes but you didn’t play fair….you used guns !! 🙀🙈😊😊
Every week, the English publish a new video about Azincourt 1415. They need it. It's their best anti-depressant.

Rip king Henry v
Good chap HENRY ,
Merkwürdig - in der Doku wird gesagt, Henry V. lernte bereits in seiner Jugend Englisch, Französisch und Latein schreiben und sprechen. Aber es ist ebenso bekannt, daß Henry in seiner Verlobungszeit mit Catherine de Valois mit seiner Braut ohne Dolmetscher/-in nicht sprechen konnte, da er kein Französisch und Catherine kein Englisch konnte. Mag sein, daß sein Vater ihm diese Kenntnisse vermitteln wollte, aber Henry's Interessen lagen immer auf militärischem und politischem Gebiet, von Sprachen hielt er nicht viel. Ansonsten ist diese Doku sehr gut gemacht. Es gibt übrigens auf deutsch einen hervorragenden historischen Romanzyklus von der Autorin Rebecca Gablé, die in 7 Bänden die Geschichte des mittelalterlichen Englands von der Eroberung 1066 bis zum Sieg über die spanische Armada 1588 erzählt. Ich weiß allerdings nicht, inwieweit diese Bücher auch in englischer Sprache erschienen sind. (Es handelt sich hier um den "Waringham-Zyklus", ein fiktives Adelsgeschlecht, daß über die Jahrhunderte immer wieder in die wichtigen Ereignisse hereingezogen wird)
In the thumb he looks like George Orwell.
one of us, one of us, one of us
Often a king so determined to be great can let their ambition for greatness affect the security of their reign byndraining all resources. We see that with the Sun King in france and also in England wuth Henry V. Henry IV had a rocky reign but in doing so he secured the kingdom for his son. Henry V onpy produced one heir from marrying so late and spending so little time at home that when that heir was a dud the succession was called into question. He also drained the coffers in the process of being great. His son's deposition and the return of the Plantagenets was inevitable.
