The Battle of Verneuil saw English forces confront a Franco-Scottish army in Normandy after Henry V's death, becoming one of the war's bloodiest battles.

Shakespeare's history plays, notably Henry V, remain urgently relevant for contemporary issues of governance and war, shifting meaning with context and production.

The Siege of Rouen highlights the tension between patriotism and compassion during Henry V's siege, as captured in John Page’s poignant poetic narrative.
