Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a history of Henry V of England. The author, a contemporary of Shakespeare, was a scholar and antiquarian who presents an account of Henry V's life and times based on historical research. The book itself is a groundbreaking work of what we now call 'historiography': a scholarly study of the past based on critical examination of sources. The author draws on chronicles, official records and other sources to construct a detailed and insightful account of one of the most famous and successful kings in English history. It sets Henry V within the context of his time, discussing his military campaigns in France, his political reforms and his personal life. It also explores the broader social and cultural milieu of England during his reign and sheds light on key aspects of medieval society. The book's insights into medieval history and the reign of Henry V are still highly valued by historians. It remains a standard work on the subject and a testament to the author's skill as a historian.
