Henry V: England's Last Warrior King

Matt Lewis is back and I have a little fun with him at the beginning of the episode.

This time, Matt teaches us all about Henry V and his ongoing quest for power and greatness. I could not help but mention how Henry VIII (nearly a century later) tries to emulate his idol, but fails miserably.

When people think of Henry V, they usually think of Agincourt. But there was far more to this king than one famous battlefield victory.

Was Henry V truly England's last warrior king? How much of his reputation comes from his achievements, and how much from centuries of mythmaking? And what might have happened if he had lived beyond the age of 35?

Join us as we take a closer look at one of England's most celebrated medieval monarchs and the legacy he left behind.
