Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book draws on a rich collection of state papers to cast new light on the life and times of Henry V. Often depicted as a wild prince, the author reveals the propaganda underlying this view, exploring Henry's military prowess, political acumen, and patronage of the arts. Challenging the traditional Shakespearean narrative, the author sets Henry's youth against the backdrop of the tumultuous reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, highlighting the complexities of his relationships with his father and his rival, Hotspur. Exposing the neglect and indifference that once surrounded the nation's archives, the author showcases the groundbreaking historical research now possible through their digitization. The book provides fresh insights into the intricacies of medieval politics, shedding new light on power, rebellion, and the shaping of one of England's most iconic monarchs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
