King Henry V by William Shakespeare
"King Henry V" by William Shakespeare is a history play written around 1599. It follows the young English king as he launches an ambitious invasion of France, claiming the French throne through ancestral right. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Henry leads his weary army to face the French at Agincourt. The play chronicles Henry's transformation from the wild youth of earlier plays into a decisive leader who must navigate warfare, treachery, and diplomacy
while bearing the moral weight of kingship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
