An Age of Kings
Henry V, Part 2: The Band of Brothers
S1 • E8 Aug 3, 1960 60m
Henry V's first public act after his accession was to lay claim to the French throne and to the hand of the French princess. When the Dauphin scornfully rejected these claims, the King and his army embarked at Southampton for France and captured the port of Harfleur. Now, marching inland on the road from Calais, they are confronted by an army that heavily outnumbers their own sick and weary forces. (Covers Act 4—conclusion)
