Agincourt
Agincourt
Henry V
Henry V came to the throne in 1415 and ignoring internal disputes set out to conquer France and claim that throne. The French marched to meet him at Agincourt. The English were outnumbered but the English archers were extremely effective and won the day. For the next two years, Henry besieged Normandy. Finally an agreement was reached - Henry would marry Catherine, daughter of Charles VI of France and on the latter's death would become King of France. They married in 1420 but Henry was desperate to end the war. He fought on and died of exhaustion and disease two years later.

The new king Henry VI was just nine months old.
