Henry V: The Practice of Kingship - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is the first scholarly reappraisal of the government of Henry V to appear in over fifty years. Traditionally cast as a British national hero whose victory at Agincourt made him the epitome of medieval chivalry, Henry V was also a dedicated and patriotic ruler who set out to restore "good governance" in the wake of Richard II's tyrannical rule and who brilliantly effected a renewal of national confidence after a generation of political and social conflict. Contributors to the volume include C.T. Allmand, Jeremy Catto, G.L. Harriss, Maurice Keen, and Edward Powell.
