Description: Henry V by Dan Jones Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The UKs bestselling medieval historian brings unforgettably to life the astonishing rise of Henry V, who survived rebellion, a near-fatal arrow wound and a lengthy and precarious princely apprenticeship to become Englands greatest warrior king.A historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist. ObserverHenry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, and died at the age of just 35, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond.The victor of Agincourt was a model king for his successors. Shakespeares version of Henry V saw his youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship, and in the dark days of World War II, Henrys victories in France were recounted in British propaganda. Churchill called Henry a gleam of splendour in the dark, troubled story of medieval England, while for one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, the greatest man who ever ruled England.For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family members, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered.As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions and secured Englands borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses.Dan Joness life of Henry V provides unprecedented insight into the critical first 26 years of his life before he became king. Both a standalone biography and a completion of Dans sequence of English medieval histories that began with The Plantagenets and The Hollow Crown, Henry V is a thrilling and unmissable life of Englands greatest king from our best-selling medieval historian.
